Our Community

We are a Christian Church seeking to live out the transforming power of God’s love. Through the strength we draw from our relationships with one another and with God, we believe that we are making a difference in the lives of our neighbours in Burlington. We are eager to expand the boundaries of our faith and worship while maintaining a respectful appreciation of the Holy Scriptures and the traditions of the Anglican Church of Canada. Whether you are married, single, divorced, widowed, young, elderly, with or without children, you are invited to join us in our worship and programs.

Our Governance

Our church has a governing Corporation comprised of two Wardens, four Deputy Wardens and the Rector. The Parish Council, made up of representatives of the congregation, meets monthly to share information and to make recommendations to the Corporation for review. We hold an annual Vestry Meeting in February at which members of the parish are asked to ratify proposals relating to our shared life as a church community, and to approve the budget for the coming year.

We belong to the Diocese of Niagara that includes approximately 100 parishes from Fort Erie to Orangeville and from Ancaster to Oakville. As Anglicans, we are led by our Bishop, The Right Reverend Michael Bird, and we are governed by the decisions of our Synod – a body made up of clergy and lay people representing all the parishes in the Diocese.

Our Mission

We are called to be a Christ-centred caring community, inviting all to worship and grow in discipleship.

Our Key Purposes:

• To providing a warm, safe, welcoming and caring environment, where God’s love is experienced and shared.
• To encourage a meaningful spiritual journey through prayer, the Sacraments, and the study of Scripture.
• To help people discern their spiritual gifts and to equip them to do God’s work and share their faith.
• To understand and serve the needs of the local community and beyond with the compassion of Christ.
• To be faithful stewards of God’s creation and generous contributors of our time, talent and treasure.
