About Us

We are a church in the contemporary Anglican tradition, and part of the Anglican Diocese of Grafton, and therefore base our worship on the Prayer Book (APBA) and the Bible. We believe that God has spoken and continues to speak to us through the Bible, through the example of his Son, Jesus Christ, through his creation, and through the Holy Spirit.  Through this revelation we learn the truth about the God who created the universe, and about how human beings can and should relate to him and to each other.

 We believe that God loves every human being and desires to have a relationship with each one of us, so he has provided a way of forgiveness of sins and salvation through Jesus Christ’s death and resurrection. We are all invited into a new relationship with God and with each other, and as we strive to live in love and obedience to God, and following Jesus’ example, our lives can be transformed.

 God invites us into fellowship with him; he speaks to us, and we can speak to him. When we pray, we believe that God always hears and always answers, sometimes in unexpected, miraculous or inexplicable ways.

 We believe that God’s Holy Spirit has been given to people who believe in Jesus, and that the Spirit gives us power to live as God would have us live, and power to fulfil the mission Jesus entrusts to us to share God’s love and His life-changing, world-changing message with all people.

 We strive to be a church that is the family of God here in our part of the Macleay Valley and to be a church that is a valued part of our community.  We believe we are called to reach out in love and compassion to those who are struggling with life in any way.

Things we value and are passionate about in our parish:

Unity within the church, recognizing that it is God’s church.

Lay leadership and equipping of the saints to serve God by whatever means he calls us.

Our worship – that it will enable all to enter deeply into worship, will uplift and encourage us, and that it will bring glory to God.

Making God’s love be known to all young people, through Scripture in Schools and through our Playgroup.
