Who We Are
We are a Christian community that embraces the catholic faith and worship of the Anglican Church and welcomes all who seek to know and follow Jesus Christ.
Our Faith
Anglicans profess the Christian faith as revealed in holy scripture, proclaimed in the creeds, celebrated in the sacraments, and expressed by the Church’s living tradition. At the heart of this faith is the belief that God has revealed himself in Jesus Christ and, in his love, calls us to eternal life.
Anglican congregations are led by priests, often assisted by deacons, under the pastoral oversight of their bishop. Today, there are approximately 90 million Anglicans in more than 165 countries, united by a shared inheritance of faith and an historic relationship with the Church of England.
Our congregation belongs to the high church tradition of Anglicanism, which seeks to uphold the catholic way of believing, worshipping, and living the Christian faith.
Our Values and Mission
Anglicans strive to live and behave in a manner that is consistent with faith in Jesus and the values of the Gospel. We heed Christ’s command to love God and neighbour, and to pursue holiness in every aspect of life. In particular, the ‘Five Marks of Mission’ commit all Anglicans to:
1. Proclaim the Good News of the Kingdom.
2. Teach, baptise and nurture new believers.
3. Respond to human need by loving service.
4. Transform unjust structures of society, to challenge violence of every kind and pursue peace and reconciliation.
5. Strive to safeguard the integrity of creation, and sustain and renew the life of the earth.
