Beliefs

 

The foundation of Anglican faith is the fundamental Christian belief in the triune God: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Anglicans believe that Jesus Christ, God the Son, lived, died, and rose again to restore humanity’s broken relationship with God. This saving act, rooted in God’s love, is the ‘Good News’ that Christians proclaim and the centre of our shared faith.

Building on this foundation, Anglican identity is defined not just by what we believe, but by how we discern and articulate that faith.

At our worship services, we celebrate the historic Christian faith found in Anglican prayer books and while we offer a variety of different services, at our core we show up for God and each other by the power of the Holy Spirit.

If you would like to learn more about our community, or have already visited and would like to join our church family, please reach out to Rev. Alison or fill out a Welcome Card next time you’re in church!

The Story behind our

Tracker Organ

Our magnificent three manual, tracker-action organ was installed in the chancel of the church in the spring of 1982 and dedicated to the Glory of God and in memory of those who died in the First World War and the Second World War.

The organ, built by the Karl Wilhelm Company of Mont St. Hilaire, Quebec, has a classical continental design. The case is made of white oak and the pipe shades are of carved butternut. Voiced in the classic French style, its 36 stops and 50 ranks are capable of interpreting a wide variety of organ literature.

Installation required considerable changes to the chancel including moving the altar forward and arranging choir seating to either side. These renovations prompted the design and production of our award-winning Benedicite Kneelers, done in needlepoint by a dedicated group of church members.
