Jesus Calls His First Disciples

And Jesus said to them, “Follow me and I will make you fish for people”

Mark 1:17

Scripture, Tradition, Reason

We recognize the importance of tradition and reason in seeking to understand what it is that Scripture is saying.

We do not put reason or tradition over Scripture since it is the ultimate authority.

At our services, you will hear words from the Bible, organ hymns (music) of worship, an engaging teaching (homily) from one of our priests and “liturgy” (a traditional form of Anglican worship).

Please do not be anxious about doing the "right thing" during the liturgy, but simply allow yourself to experience the service, and join in the worship according to your comfort level. You may follow along with the liturgy if you like but you do not have to participate in it if you don’t wish to. You may, without pressure or worry, just sit and observe how our worship service operates.
