Walking the Way
together.

The first Christians spoke of their faith as “the Way”. Following Christ shapes how we pray, how we welcome one another, and how we live from day to day.

A life of prayer

We make room for God in the ordinary rhythm of our lives, in Scripture, silence and the sacraments.

A place at the table

We gather as people with different stories, learning to receive one another with patience and care.

Faith put into practice

We seek to carry the love we receive into our homes, our work and the lives of our neighbours.

Rooted in
apostolic ministry.

Our sacramental life is rooted in apostolic succession and lived in relationship with other bishops and jurisdictions.

Guided by The Right Reverend Ashley R. Deutschmann, Bishop-Rector, the Mission is shaped by the rhythms of the early Church: reverent, welcoming and centred on Christ’s presence in the sacraments and the people who gather to receive them.
