If you are new to St. Barnabas or would like to participate more fully, please contact us.
St. Bamabas Anglican Church is located in an area of Calgary which is known as Hillhurst.
The church is aligned north/south on the west side of 12 Street NW. There are lawn areas at the front with paved walkways and on the east side of the church is a Memorial Garden. St. Barnabas' building is a A-frame design with an open beamed ceiling.
Inside you will find seven stained glass windows and a wood shingled roof. There is a balconly above the narthex with white brick and oak woodwork around the altar. The west side of the church is adjoined by St. Barnabas' chapel.
St. Barnabas also houses a robing room, library and sacristy and a basement can be found below the church, which houses the Undcrcroft (a Thrift Shop) as well as a robing room for the junior choir. Attached to the church and chapel is a brick and sandstone church tower housing our library.
The Parish Hall is connected to the church tower and the church by a link hallway. Our Parish Hall is a two-storey building and the upper floor consists of offices, mechanical rooms and a main hall with access to the link hall and washrooms.
The lower hall consists of a large function room used for parish associated functions and fellowship, with an adjoining kitchen, which has undergone major renovations, and a mechanical room. There also is a hydraulic handicap elevator accessible for use from all three floors.
During the week the lower parish hall is rented out to a private pre-school/kindergarten and throughout the year to several other associations for their use.
Next to St. Barnabas' Parish Hall, on the west side is a Scout Hall. This is a two-storey building which includes a kitchen, large room for meetings, two smaller rooms used for the "Amazing Adventure"' and church nursery as well as a washroom. The basement contains a large open space formerly used as a playschool.
Surrounding St. Barnabas is a wrought iron and frost fence and groomed grass areas which are all well maintained. St. Barnabas is also next to a park so is an ideal location for Weddings.
We look forward to welcoming you to St. Barnabas and having you take part in one of our services or events. Should you have any questions, or need any additional information; please do not hestitate to contact us.
