Our Mission and Vision

What we believe as a church is built upon the firm foundation of Scripture and Historic Christianity. Along with our Mission and Vision Statements below, you will find the foundations of what we believe about Church, Christianity and Anglicanism, as well as the statements of faith that shape who we are as a church community.


FOUNDATIONS

The Glory of God

While all of creation declares the majesty of God, the church is the means God uses to proclaim his particular glory, specially made known in the birth, life, ministry, death, resurrection, ascension and soon return of Jesus. 1


Being Christian

St. George’s is a Christian church. Christian churches believe and trust in Jesus as Lord and Saviour, looking to the bible as the final authority on matters of faith in God, as containing everything necessary for humanity to be restored to right relationship with their creator and as the clear guide on all matters of life, morals and ethics. 2


Being Anglican

St. George’s is an Anglican Church. Anglican churches are the offspring of the English Reformation. The beating heart of the English Reformation sought to bring the good news of God’s saving work to all people in a language and form they could understand. 3 This still applies today. Anglican churches hold the Thirty-nine Articles of Religion as a reliable way of expressing Christian faith.

1Ephesians 3:10-11,     22 Timothy 3:16; Article VI,     3Article XXXIV; Article XXIV


OUR MISSION

Receive, love and proclaim Jesus as our greatest treasure to the glory of God.


OUR VISION

Generations of joy-filled, gospel-shaped people proclaiming Jesus Christ with conviction, competence and confidence.
