Where To Find Us
This Crossing Bridges website was created as a form of online Christian outreach to provide Bible Studies
and an email contact service (reach-out) for people of all ages, in all their diversity and complexity,
in support of their personal Christian growth and spiritual well-being.
From time to time, Bible studies will be provided on this site.
These studies generally follow the teaching series presented within the Sunday evening services (6PM) at St Paul's Anglican Church
- directly in front of the Birkinhead Bridge -
1 Church Place, Port Adelaide in Adelaide South Australia.
You can always join us in person on Sundays.
If you would like to come along, why not email us beforehand so that we can look forward to welcoming you especially.

Are you wanting to become a Christian or to renew your fundamental understanding and faith?
The 2025 ALPHA COURSE is a free series of interactive video-led sessions that create a safe and honest space where people can explore life, faith and meaning. If you ever wondered what the Christian Faith was about, this is the perfect opportunity to come and see. If the course is not for you, you can just say goodbye at any time, but most people love it once they start. There are absolutely no fees or charges, and everyone’s opinion is respected, valued and listened to.
There is no pressure.
People of no particular religion, and people from other faiths and cultures, are very welcome.
Join us to explore life’s big questions over a series of meals (at 6PM BYO but two free provided special dinners):
Is there more to life than this?
Who is Jesus?
Why did Jesus die?
How can I have faith?
Why and how do I pray?
Why and how should I read the Bible?
How do I resist evil?
How does God guide us?
How can I be filled with the Holy Spirit?
Do I need to be baptised to be a Christian?
The Alpha Course is held weekly on Monday Nights at 7PM at St Paul’s Port Adelaide and St Bede’s Semaphore,
alternating weekly between The Port and Semaphore.
You may like to join us earlier from 6PM to chat over a BYO meal or maybe just share in a cup of tea/coffee with some light snacks.
Monday 17 February at St Paul’s Church, 1 Church Place, Port Adelaide
