Our beliefs...

The Anglican Church of Canada believes this.

We believe that, too.

Our Parish is an extension of the ministry of the Bishop of New Westminster. The Bishop, as chief pastor and steward of the Anglican Church in the Lower Mainland, has entrusted their sacramental and pastoral ministries to the priests and deacons of the Diocese. Those who pray at the Parish of St. John, Sardis can be assured of one's connection to the ancient church.

We believe...

We believe God is love and that we have been given this good news to celebrate and share with all people. We seek to practice the radical welcome and hospitality Jesus himself offered to those he met, particularly to those people on the fringes of society. We are INSPIRED by the way of compassion & justice made known to us in the person of Jesus Christ. We believe that in him we have seen God. We exist to share the hope he brings us all with the world today. This requires of us to be intentional about our faith; to be able to reflect & talk to others about the hope that is within us, to be involved in initiatives that alleviate the suffering of the poor and marginalized, to care for the environment and the whole of creation, and to remind all people of their inherent value & worth.
