From the Rector

   
 

Welcome to St Bartholomew's presence on the Web. Our prayer is that your visit to this site might give you a taste of what it would be like to join us on a Sunday.

We are an eclectic group committed to following Jesus and to the Anglican way of doing theology.

We believe in the Bible as the authoritative word of God and we believe we are able to enjoy a personal relationship with the risen Lord Jesus, whose death provided us with eternal atonement for our sins.

We believe that our Christian pilgrimage would be futile, indeed frustrating, without the empowering gift of the Holy Spirit who delights in enabling us to grow in grace and knowledge as well as love for God.

Simply put, we believe that we are called to be a people who are:

  • daily growing more in love with God;
  • daily growing more in love for one another;
  • daily growing in our awareness and willingness to serve one another and
  • compelled by the same love to serve the world, that compelled Jesus, who longed to see the alienated world reconciled to God.

We invite you to explore these pages with interest, but more importantly we invite you to explore the joy and power that is yours when you respond to the simple call of Jesus to follow his way of living.

We would be delighted to assist you on your journey of exploration and of faith.

Welcome in the name of Christ

 
 

Jerry Smith (the Rev. Dr.)

rector (senior pastor)
