Horizons of Hope and Joy
We are a Christian community of faith in the Anglican tradition which seeks to
- worship God in spirit and truth;
- celebrate his unconditional love for us in Jesus Christ;
- serve God in each other and in those around
- join God in his passionate commitment to our world and to all who live in it, seeking to heal, to teach, to restore, to inspire and to grow.
In our parish, worship, ministry and mission form the triad of our pastoral plan.
"If God is for us, who can be against us?"
