About Us |
|
We are seeking in St. Columba’s to be a church of balance. A three-legged stool maintains balance, even on uneven ground. Therefore we have three aspects to our vision, to: ~ DEVELOP in our relationship with God ~ DEEPEN in love for one another, and ~ DRAW others to discover God’s love and mercy for themselves. |
|
We are aware that there are good things within our Anglican tradition (the central place of the Word, etc.) and yet there is a need to change in some areas (without compromising) in order to be relevant to the culture around us. As a church we have a rich tradition of music with a wonderful choir who lead us in worship each week. Combining this with some contemporary music and styles of worship (particularly in the evening service) we are hoping to reach both young and old, encouraging renewal and growth within Christ’s Church. Pastoral care is also important in encouraging spiritual growth. The Bible Study group during the week is part of this pastoral care and so we encourage everyone to come along and study the Scriptures together in an atmosphere of prayer and support for each other. It is our desire to be more outward looking as a church, looking at ways in which we can be more involved in the community—making a difference in our town and nation. |
