Our Core Values

The gospel values of God’s Kingdom, revealed through Jesus Christ and his church are central to our life as a parish church. These spiritual core values (which underpin all that we say and do) are:

CARE – The spirit of love and compassion

WELCOME – The spirit of hospitality and generosity

RESPECT – The spirit of openness and acceptance

SERVICE – The spirit of reaching out and support in humility

Through, with and in Jesus, we as an Anglican Community endeavour to live these values, supporting each other as we share our faith and serve the community in which we are placed, as well as our Bishop, our Diocese and the wider community.

Please also see our history page, and take the opportunity to visit the rest of this site to learn a little more of who we are, why we’re here and what goes on in Church and around the Parish.
