St Aidan's Anglican Church

The St Aidan's Anglican Church, Aireys Inlet is part of the Parish of Surfcoast and the Diocese of Melbourne. Early Anglican services began in the district about 1883, in private homes and businesses. The first church building was opened by Bishop J J Booth in 1939 in Bambra Road. This building was destroyed in the Ash Wednesday bushfires of 1983. A new church building, on the Great Ocean Road, was consecated on 11/5/1986 by Archbishop David Penman, with church services in the meantime being held in a local school. The building is also used by Uniting Church and Catholic congregations. More historical information/photographs of the church/congregation(s) are invited. Photographs uploaded 30/9/2021.
