Following feedback from our Town Hall meeting on October 23, our core values and our core purpose as a parish are shown below. Our grand vision is an overarching view which can act as a framework for more detailed planning. Further steps in this planning, shown here, will involve the parish as a whole informing the continuing work of Parish Council
Core Values:
Christianity: We are grounded in the teachings and life of Jesus Christ, God with us, in the Bible and in the Anglican traditions of faith and liturgy.
Generosity: We engage each other and our world through a spirit of generosity – sharing ourselves, our time, our talents and our treasures in ways which reflect the abundance of God’s creation and love.
Continuity: We are committed to exploring and living out our Christian faith, within our families, our parish and in the communities where we live; passing that faith from one generation to the next.
Hospitality: We welcome all, regardless of life situation or beliefs, treating each other with respect and expecting to learn from one another.
Community: We believe that God’s relationship with us is reflected in community – our parish, the places where we live and work and the larger world to which we are connected in many different ways.
Core Purpose:
To live the ways of Jesus by learning, teaching and sharing through Worship, Education, Fellowship and Outreach in the communities we serve, at home and globally.
Grand Vision
To be a beacon of hope and life in our communities.
- To be a destination church in this part of the city for those seeking a relationship with God through Christ
- To once again be considered a centre for the community – a source of support for people in becoming the families/individuals they want to be.
