Mission and Vision
Five Marks of Mission
At Holy Trinity Anglican Church we support the Five Marks of Mission as developed and defined by the Anglican Consultative Council. These “marks” express the Anglican Communion’s common commitment to, and understanding of, God’s holistic, integral and cosmic mission of redemption and thus serves as a faithful guide for seeking to follow the Christ:
To proclaim the Good News of the Kingdom;
To teach, baptize and nurture new believers;
To respond to human need by loving service;
To transform unjust structures of society;
To challenge violence of every kind
and pursue peace and reconciliation;
To strive to safeguard the integrity of creation,
and sustain and renew the life of the earth.
A Vision for the Church
As a church we celebrate Word and Sacrament in order to keep and cultivate the space of the church so as to see and encounter God. This not only points to the goal of human existence—union with God—but also participates in, by faith, that reality now.
This is the vision we desire! And therefore we seek to follow the words and ways of Jesus as we pursue purity of heart with confidence in the promise that those who do so shall see God.
- Matthew 5:8
“...all of us, with unveiled faces, seeing the glory of the Lord as though reflected in a mirror, are being transformed into the same image from one degree of glory to another; for this comes from the Lord, the Spirit.”
- 2 Corinthians 3:18
