WE are "BIBLICAL"

We hold to the unique authority of the Bible as “God’s Word written” so we are careful to give the Bible its rightful place as the primary source of our knowledge of God and our faith.

WE are “Evangelical”

We preach the Good News of the Lord Jesus’ atoning sacrifice on the cross, and triumphant physical resurrection from the grave which justifies all those who trust in Jesus as their saviour and submit to him as Lord.

we are “SACRAMENTAL”

In the Prayer Book’s design, the pulpit and the table are not rivals but partners in proclaiming the Lord’s death until he comes (1 Corinthians 11:26). Sermons, far from displacing the sacrament, should point towards it and prepare hearers for partaking of it, which is why celebrate the Lord Jesus’ one true sacrifice for sin in the sacrament of the Lord’s Supper (also known as Holy Communion), which is an outward visible sign of an inward spiritual grace given to us by Christ himself.

WE ARE “REFORMED”

We are committed in our belief in the sovereignty of God and the other doctrines of grace rediscovered in the Reformation of the 16th century.

WE ARE “CREEDAL”

We stand with the historic church in accepting the summary of this Biblical faith as expressed in the Apostles’ Creed, the Nicene Creed, and the Athanasian Creed.

WE ARE “CONFESSIONAL”

 We subscribe to the Book of Common Prayer, the Thirty-Nine Articles of Religion, and hold to The Jerusalem Declaration as a statement of contemporary orthodox Anglicanism.

WE are “LITURGICAL”

 We use forms of service that are consistent with the teaching, principles and practice of the 1662 Book of Common Prayer. We mainly use liturgies from the APBA 1995 (A Prayer Book for Australia, the BCP 1662 (Book of Common Prayer) and some liturgies from BCP 2019 (produced by ACNA [Anglican Church in North America]).
