The Anglican parish of St. Stephen’s and St. John’s was established in the mid to late 1830’s by Bishop John Strachan of Toronto, founder of the University of Trinity College, Toronto.
Our mission is to provide for the spiritual care and nurture of persons in the modern world. We are rooted in the ancient tradition of the Anglican Church which has, for nearly two-thousand years, provided a “middle ground” between Protestant and Roman Catholic forms of expression.
We believe that God is re-creating the world through transformed persons. Personal and societal transformation is highly valued and celebrated in our parish. Therefore, we provide an intimate but vital faith community which understands its identity primarily in terms of pilgrimage, growth and renewal.
Our community gathers for prayer, worship and community life in many ways. Through various social, educational, and worship groups we foster holistic lifestyles.
Opportunities for worship are open for any person seeking spiritual grounding within a Christian faith community: Everyone is welcome:
