The church facilities are used for weddings, funerals, marriage courses, parenting courses, concerts, creche, children, youth and community group activities.

The perfect wedding venue in the heart of Stoke is St Barnabas Church. The church is adjacent to Isel Park,  ideal for traditional wedding photos (or even an outdoor wedding) in a park setting.

The main church auditorium seats up to 200. A full PA system is installed, along with a computer and a projector with a daylight screen for audio visual. Most audio devices can be used for music through the PA. There is a pipe organ, keyboard and organist available The foyer seats 70-80 and is ideal for smaller receptions.

Constructed of stone from Poor Man’s creek and local timber, the church was officially opened in 1866. A large hall was built in the early 1960’s followed by an extension to the  church in the 1970s to accommodate 200 in the main auditorium. Later a large Foyer, kitchen and Crèche were  added. Ideal for all occasions.
