In its own words
The Church conducts weekly in-person church services and livestream our service. Outreach programs include donations to local organizations and we supported two refugee families through AURA (Anglican-United Church Refugee Agency). We have a weekly bible study monthly women's meetings. We provide rental space to supplement our revenue for concerts and theatre. Fundraising activities are minimal due to an aging parish.
