Our Vision 

  • To live, work, act and pray for the Christian community as a place of peace, freedom and inclusion where love between people, regardless of sexual orientation may be honoured, shared and celebrated;
  • To fulfil the baptismal covenant that declares that all people are full and equal members of the Body of Christ;
  • To be a resource for spiritual growth and social change, and a welcoming beacon of Christian hope;
  • To be a place to discuss relevant issues, serve the Church, learn our history and create a future.
