As part of our 2025-2030 vision we affirmed that we will always prioritise:
Preaching the gospel
God speaks to us through His Word.
Growth groups as the primary means of discipleship and pastoral care
In small groups we are able to minister to one another as we sit under God's word in community and prayer
The delight of God’s invitation to pray
In all things we depend on the provision of our kind Father.
Kids and Youth ministry.
Belonging to God’s people is not just for adults. We want kids and youth to grow up living and breathing the truth that Jesus is Lord.
Over the next few years, we discerned the need to also focus on these particular priorities.
We want to be a church...
where
people from all walks of life find true belonging in Christ.
where
every member is empowered to use their gifts to serve.
that
holds out real hope to all people.
that
isn’t limited by our building.
What we value at Toongabbie Anglican
Deep in our story as a church are these practiced values...
Faithfulness in teaching and life
We joyfully submit to God’s word as we read it, hear it preached, and gather around it. We long and expect to see God’s Word and God’s Spirit transform our lives.
The growth of God’s Kingdom
We long to see people come to know Jesus and be transformed by Him; in Toongabbie, Pendle Hill, and throughout the world.
Humble service & shared purpose
Part of the joy of following Jesus is in working together to serve God, His people, and those around us.
Deep relationship in diverse community
We strive for relationships that go beyond small talk. We love inclusion, authenticity, and being in a place where everyone can feel they belong.
