We are an Anglican Church! What does that mean? Yes, it means we are part of the Anglican Church of Australia, but more than that, it means we are a church that embraces a diversity of life and belief. We believe in the scriptures, and we base our worship on the Prayer Book for Australia. We believe that God loves every human being and that we are called to share that love. We strive to be a church that is the family of God here in our part of the Northern Rivers of New South Wales.

We believe we are called to show God's love to all people, regardless of their life situation; to reach out in compassion to those who are doing it tough. We are called to feed the hungry, clothe the naked, set free those who are captives, bind up the broken-hearted and bring God's good news to those who need to hear it. We believe in Jesus Christ and his power to transform lives.

Anglicanism, as the name indicates, holds roots in the Church of England and still involves communion with the Archbishop of Canterbury. As a result, we inherit and bring together traditions from the early centuries of Christianity, ancient Celtic Christianity, medieval Catholicism, and the European Reformation of the sixteenth century. Many developments have followed, giving ongoing life to the Church. We honour the rich diversity of our heritage and culture.

Today, Anglicanism embraces a variety of languages and cultures from many parts of the world, giving distinctive features to our worship, church life and theology, and Anglicans worldwide are seeking to reflect something of the unity-in-diversity of God, who is Father, Son and Holy Spirit: three persons in one God.

Worship of God is also central to our faith. Our tradition allows for a variety of expressions: from contemporary and informal to traditional and reverent. And we know that we would love for you to join us and be part of God's family and a part of God's work here with us!
