Our Vision
Saint Margaret’s will become a recognized centre for preaching, worship, and learning that develops a new generation of Christian leaders for the world.
Our Mission
To re-evangelize the culture by proclaiming Christ the Way, the Truth and the Life.
Our Identity
Gathered by grace, Saint Margaret’s is a Christian Community rooted in Scripture, the Great Tradition of Christian Thought and Liturgical Worship.
Theological Principles
The Priority of Worship
Worship as adoration is participation in the work of God, it is the most profound act of evangelism and it is public. Therefore it must be at the centre of our life together at Saint Margaret’s and shape all of our work.
The Cure of Souls
As a Church gathered by grace we are responsible to the souls within our parish bounds and to those who are members of our body both here and away. Therefore we call Christians to grow in their baptismal life in Christ, we attend to their needs and we set people free for their Christian vocation.
Social Transformation
Christian thinking begins with the study of God and it proceeds, under the direction of the Holy Spirit, to reflect and act upon the Gospel of Christ and the social teaching of the Church. Therefore, our parish mission requires that we combine our strengths in theological analysis with effective action in the world.
Dynamic Governance and Leadership
We believe that, in accordance with our mission and vision, the New Testament models of institution, community and movement must be held in dynamic relation one to another. Therefore, we must develop a sound theology of leadership to inform our governance structures.
