WE PRAY TO GOD
When our soul is touched by God, we are forever changed. When we listen, 
God speaks and changes our perspective. This cross represents our encounter with God.
 WE GATHER IN CHRIST 
You are not in it alone. God made us to be together.  In this church, we settle the storm of the world’s brokenness with our openness, authenticity and curiosity. That is what makes true community, and this is what our circle represents. This is a place where people are just waiting to love you for who you are.
WE SHINE THE LIGHT OF GOD
A community of blessing doesn’t focus inward. Consistently changed by our friendships with God, we are transformed by joy, generosity and service. This window represents the light that shines through our community of prayer.

Our Vision  

At St. Aidan’s, we seek to nurture a vibrant community that invites all to know and follow Jesus Christ. Our vision is guided by three key pillars:
 
Building Community
We are committed to fostering a welcoming environment where meaningful relationships are formed and nourished. Our aim is to:
  • Offer opportunities for individuals and families to connect with one another through fellowship, service and worship.
  • Expand and grow our ministries for families, youth and children, ensuring that we provide spaces for all to grow in faith.
  • Share God’s love in tangible ways, both within our congregation and in the wider community, so that all who encounter St. Aidan’s feel embraced by Christ’s love.
 
Building Spiritual Connections
We strive to deepen the spiritual lives of our members by:
  • Creating a comprehensive formation program that serves all ages, equipping our community to lead and actively engage in the life of the church.
  • Honoring our rich traditions while seeking to inspire and involve people in new ways of worship and spiritual practice.
  • Encouraging spiritual growth that connects people to Christ and each other through prayer, study and active participation in ministry.
 
Building Paths
We are committed to strengthening our outreach and care for others by:
  • Enhancing our pastoral care and response, ensuring that no one in our community feels isolated or unsupported.
  • Building stronger connections within our local community, reaching out to meet the spiritual and physical needs of those around us.
  • Equipping ministry leaders with the tools and resources they need to lead effectively and compassionately, helping to carry out our mission of service and discipleship.
