St Barnabas' Anglican Church traces its beginnings back to 1912 when home Sunday School classes were commenced at Westmead. A property at 75 Hawkesbury Road was acquired in 1936 and the hall where the church had previously met was moved to that site.
A Foundation stone reads, " To the Glory of God this stone was laid by The Most Reverend H.W.K. Mowll CMG DD Archbishop of Sydney 26th September 1954. RT Rev W.G. Hilliard MA Thd Rector".

Organ:
Music was initially provided by a reed organ which had been used for services for many years, but the new building had been constructed with a gallery in the tower which was intended to accommodate a pipe organ. The Organ was built in 1964 by J. W. Walker & Sons Ltd of Ruislip, Middlesex. It has 2 manuals, 3 ranks plus mixture, extension, electro-magnetic action.
