Darling Street Anglican Church is one church, made up of communities that honour God as Father, Son and Spirit.

Our vision - what we want to be in 2007

We want to be mature in Christ, as we grow in love, and share Christ with our world. (Colossians 1:28)

We aim to be communities where:

God...knows we are faithful, because by his Spirit, we honour Jesus as Lord, we stand for the truth of his word, seek him in prayer and spread his gospel by our words and actions.

Our Church Community...is strongly committed to exalting God, growing together in Christian maturity and reaching out to others in need.

Guests and Visitors, and others reached by our ministry...appreciate our welcoming and caring attitude, our accessible communication of the Christian faith and our positive presence in the wider community.

Other Christians and Christian Organisations...are encouraged by seeing God working in our church community and appreciate being in partnership with us.

The Diocese...is pleased and encouraged with our development of viable and godly church communities in the Inner West and our wise stewardship.
