Our Vision
Our vision is to develop a vibrant and sustainable model of Missional church in North East Lake Macquarie.
Our church is nestled in a leafy and vibrant community on the traditional lands of the Awabakal people. We are blessed with a beautiful natural environment that reaches from the deep-blue ocean, golden sands and Glenrock Lagoon, through native bushland, to our leafy urban neighbourhoods of Kahibah, Whitebridge, Dudley, Highfields and Charlestown. This setting connects us daily to the beauty of God’s creation.
Our logo draws inspiration from the stunning natural treasure trove of Glenrock Conservation Area and the vibrant community hub of Kahibah – which takes its name from the Aboriginal word meaning a place for games, or to be active and eager.
Safe Ministry
The Anglican Diocese of Newcastle is committed to ensuring that all people who participate in our worship, programs and ministries have a safe and rewarding experience.
God has commanded us to love one another. Ensuring a person’s safety is an expression of that love. See more about Parish Safety Polices
We follow the Anglican Church’s Faithfulness in Service code of behaviour. We practice and utilise the material from the NSW Government’s Office of the Children’s Guardian ‘Safe Series’ - click on the ‘Kids Spot’ link for more information.
