MISSION & VISION

MISSION AND VISION STATEMENT

St Mary’s Anglican Church, North Melbourne is an inner-city Christian community that strives to be faithful, inclusive, and sacramental.

God inspires us to worship in daily celebration; to be caring, thoughtful and inviting.

In response to God’s call, in the next three to five years we aim:

to grow substantially in faith and numbers
To create an inter-generational culture that values all age groups – children and adults – equally
To express our faith in active engagement within and beyond our own community
To deploy our property and financial assets in strategic support of the ministry needs of the parish for the long term
to become more open to change as we learn to grow
