Our Ministries really define who we are and they provide the focus of parish life.  At present we have the following ministries in which, as a congregation, we are actively engaged.  Click on each ministry to find out more about that work.
  • Worship focuses on the religious aspects of our Anglican church experience

  • Pastoral Care is aimed at keeping in touch with those who can't always come to church

  • Music Ministry ensures that our worship is augmented with the joy of music - instrumental as well as vocal
  • Church School provides the young family members with both learning and fun as part of their worship.
  • Chancel Guild supports our worship by ensuring the appropriate Sunday service needs are provided 
  • Family Market is part of our Outreach program providing low cost clothing and other items for the community
  • Soup & Sandwich is also part of our Outreach work and operates a lunch kitchen for those in the community who cannot always afford a hot meal.
  • Social Committee focuses on the family involvement in the church in a non-religious atmosphere.
  • St. John's Cemetery is a registered Ontario cemetery offering burial services to the community (both Anglican and non-parishioners).
  • Property Committee ensures the ongoing viability of our church buildings and the rectory.
 Chancel Guild


The Chancel Guild is a traditional ministry working behind the scenes and intended to be mostly unseen work for God’s glory. Members prepare the altar for worship each Sunday as well as for special services. Other duties include caring for the linens, vestments, sacred vessels and flower arrangements. We are truly blessed to have a member who is gifted in the making of banners. Our present Chancel Guild consists of three teams of two people who rotate on a monthly basis. All our members consider it an honour to “care for the Holy Place of Thine Abode”.
