The “House for the Church”
The “Church,” the ecclesia, is the people of God. When St.Paul in his New Testament letters refers to the Church, he is not referring to any building (for there was no “church building”, people gathered in houses for eucharist and fellowship), he is referring to Christian people in a particular local.

With this theological teaching in mind, the Anglican parish of the Resurrection – in a time of liturgical and spiritual renewal – continues to build the Church (as is our call in every generation), edifying and calling into deepening maturity the people of God who gather in this  parish. In this process of building up the Church, we do need to “house” the church. This is what The “House for the Church” building project is all about – we need to put a new roof over the Church in our parish…a House that will enable us to continue to proclaim and live the unchanging Truth of Christ, yet enable us to do so in an ever changing society. We envision a house that will facilitate the ministry of hospitality to us and to our region; a house that will enable us to do mission more effectively – teaching and drawing into Christian experience; a house that permits flexibility in our liturgical practice and participation.
