The lay leadership of St. Philip Anglican Church made a decision some years ago to share space and ministry with Lutheran and United Church congregations (Living Spirit Centre). The decision was made through the conviction that God intends for the Church to express one faith and one baptism in the apostolic tradition.  At the same time, to offer varied and reliable opportunities for individuals to live out their personal lives in community of worship, learning, and service.  It is the desire of the lay leadership at St. Philip to draw people together through the Anglican tradition with the intention of growing stronger in the sharing of space and ministry with the Bread of Life Lutheran and Eastside United Church congregations.

The Living Spirit Centre is a place where members of the Anglican, Lutheran, and United denominations are committed to share the resources of space, ministry, and ordained clergy for the purpose of furthering the Kingdom of God as a community.  St. Philip congregation has developed a lay ministry team through the support of interim ordained Anglican clergy and the co-operation of the Lutheran and United Church clergy.  St. Philip congregation is attempting to respond to the need for intentional and mutual ministry through co-operation among existing denominations within the Christian Church.

At St. Philip we gather for the purpose of offering praise and thanksgiving for the gift of God’s Grace, to learn through hearing God’s Word, and searching for opportunities to be more effectual channels of God’s reconciling Love in the world.


May God Bless and Keep You
