The visions and purposes of the Anglican parishes of Charnwood and Ginninderra are expressed on their respective websites:
“Walking together with Jesus to take his life into the world”
and
“to see God’s Kingdom come on earth as it is in heaven”
As we join together, our shared vision is:
“Walking and growing together with Jesus and engaging the world through the love of God”

Engaging the world through Holy Spirit directed ministry that desires to see all people come to know and love Jesus as their Lord and Saviour.
