Advocacy @ St Paul's

St Paul's Anglican Church in Ballarat is one of the city's historic churches and it is situated in the historic precinct of Bakery Hill.

St Paul's has established a social and environmental justice group, Advocacy @ St Paul's. By going to the group's blog, Advocacy, you can read about some matters of interest to the Christian community at St Paul's. From the blog, by scrolling down the sidebar, you are only a click away from Advocacy's range of social media.
