Join a Team
Church is more than just a building, it's a community of people who care for one another and work together to serve God and our neighbours. Belonging to a church isn't just about what you can get, but about the role you can play in shaping and sharing that community life.
We believe the church is called to be a place of mutual support, where we look out for one another and use our diverse gifts and talents to support the mission of God. If you'd like to get more involved and discover how you can contribute to our shared life, please let us know where your interests lie, and we'll help you take the next step.
Outreach Teams
We are actively engaged in reaching out to our local community through a variety of initiatives. We have programs that support those going through life's challenges, provide assistance to those in need, and build connections with young families. We also offer courses for those exploring the Christian faith, and organize events that foster fellowship and hospitality within the broader community.
Caring for our neighbours and sharing God's love is a core part of our church's mission. Through these outreach activities, we strive to be a welcoming and transformative presence in the lives of those around us. Whether it's creating a safe space, offering a listening ear or simply having a cup of tea together, we believe the church is called to be a force for good in the world.

9am Sunday Services Teams
Our 9am Sunday service follows a traditional style of Anglican liturgy. By getting involved in the various aspects of our 9am service, you'll not only be contributing to the life of the church, but also have the chance to grow in your own faith and appreciation for the Anglican tradition.
10.30am Sunday Services Teams
Our 10:30am Sunday service is much more informal in its liturgical style. It has many opportunities for you to contribute, whether you're new to our community or have been attending for years.
From welcoming people with a warm smile, to supporting the technical aspects of the service, to engaging with our children and youth – there are many ways you can lend your talents. This is a chance to not only bless the congregation, but also grow in your own faith journey.
Don't be afraid to step out of your comfort zone either. This is an opportunity to try something new and discover untapped gifts. The most important thing is a willing heart to serve.

Church Property Teams
We have several teams that play a vital role in maintaining and enhancing our physical spaces.
Serving on one of these property teams is a practical way to use your gifts and make a tangible difference. And if you're new to these kinds of tasks, it's a great opportunity to learn and grow.
So if you have a heart for practical service and a desire to care for our shared spaces, we'd love for you to consider joining one of our church property teams.
Administration Teams
We also have several important administrative positions that are crucial to the smooth running of our church. If you have a knack for organization, attention to detail or financial management, we'd love for you to consider serving on one of these teams.
Whether you're gifted in leadership, policy-making, accounting or simply have a heart for administrative service, there's a place for you. It's an opportunity to use your God-given talents in a meaningful way, while also developing new abilities.
