Our Mission
To be a vibrant, caring, prayerful community, dependent on God, growing in faith and vision, alive in the Holy Spirit.
To be people who actively carry the good news of Jesus to the world through deliberate outreach strategies.
To provide a safe place of worship and fellowship, and to give care, support and encouragement to all who come, in an environment where people can encounter Jesus and be nurtured in their faith.

Parish Vision
"Walking together with Jesus to take his life into the world."
|
| |
Parish Scripture
That we may know Christ and the power of his resurrection and the fellowship of sharing in his sufferings. (Philippians 3:10)
|
| |
Parish Prayer
Grant, Lord that we who receive the body and blood of our Lord Jesus Christ
may be the means by which the work of his incarnation shall go forward;
take, consecrate, break, distribute us,
to be for others a means of your grace, and vehicles of your eternal love;
through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
