Building for Worship, Service and the Glory of God

A Shared Work, A Lasting Gift.

When you give toward the building of the church, you are not simply reparing walls, or erecting walls: You are investing in:

  • The worship of God

  • The proclamation of the Gospel

  • The care of souls

  • The witness of the Church in this community

This building will stand as a testimony of faith long after we are gone.

❋ A Parish Building Project

“Except the Lord build the house, they labor in vain that build it.” - Psalm 127:1

Our Parish is undertaking a sacred work: the renovation of a temporary chapel and preparation our our new permanent Parish building so that it may fully serve its purpose as a house of prayer, a place of reverent worship and a refuge for God’s people.

This is not merely a construction project. It is an act of faith.

❋ Why we are building

The Lord has entrusted us with a space that is being transformed into a consecrated church - set apart for the celebration of the Holy Eucharist, the Daily Offices, teaching, prayer, and works of mercy.

Our vision is a simple, dignified Anglican Catholic Church rooted in the Holy Scriptures, the Book of Common Prayer and the Historic Faith, where:

  • Christ is worshiped reverently

  • The sacraments are faithfully celebrated

  • The poor and forgotten are served

  • Souls are formed in holiness and truth

To bring this vision to completion, we need the help of the faithful.

❋ What We Are Working Toward

Current and upcoming needs include:

  • Sanctuary preparation

  • Interior renovation to support reverent worship

  • Sacristy and storage improvements

  • Seating and furnishing appropriate for liturgical use

  • Accessibility and safety improvements

  • Exterior repairs and finishing
