The mission of the Parish of St.
John’s, Malone, is to proclaim the Gospel of the reconciling love
of God in Christ through Word, Sacrament and Daily Living
-
by the regular offering of worship
to God in the best tradition of the Church of Ireland and to the highest
standard we can attain;
-
by offering and maintaining our parish
church as a holy place, hallowed by prayer and open to all who seek to enjoy
the mystery of God’s presence in quiet and stillness;
-
by building a caring and sensitive
church community responsive to the needs of others, including the need
for private and personal space;
-
by encouraging open and informed exploration
of the Christian Faith, embracing in fellowship and dialogue with those who
wrestle with honest doubt;
-
by welcoming Christians of all traditions
and accepting and respecting them in fellowship;
-
by exercising a special concern for
and ministry to Inter-Church families;
-
by seeking to offer to all the
opportunity to look beyond the preoccupations of often hectic lives towards
that source of eternal calm, strength and renewal which is Almighty God.
