关于我们

被耶稣改变的社群

我们是谁?

我们的使命

耶稣。接触。爱。服侍。

被耶稣吸引,我们接触失丧的,我们彼此相爱,并侍奉主。

我们的异象

在悉尼西北部荣耀神

我们的祷告是看到来自各个民族、各个世代的成千上万的人为耶稣而活,成为一个被他的恩典所改变的社群,一切都是为了他的荣耀。

我们的信仰

圣保罗圣公会秉持基督教信仰的基本真理,包括:

1

圣经原本具有神圣的启示性和绝对正确性,在所有信仰和行为问题上具有最高权威。

2

圣父、圣子、圣灵三位一体的真神

3

自从堕落以来,人类本性就具有普遍的罪恶与罪咎,导致所有人都遭受神的震怒和谴责。

4

耶稣基督因圣灵感孕,由童贞女马利亚所生。

5

唯有借着耶稣基督—这位道成肉身的神的儿子—作为我们的代表和替代者,甘愿为我们牺牲而死,我们才能从罪的愧疚、刑罚与权势中得着救赎。

6

耶稣基督从死里复活。

7

唯有圣灵的工作,才能使基督的死在个别罪人身上发生果效,使人悔改归向神,并信靠耶稣基督,这是绝对必要的。

8

圣灵内住在信徒心中,并在其中工作。

9

期待主耶稣基督的亲自再来。

认识团队

教会不仅仅由牧师和受薪职员管理。圣保罗教会的每一位成员都参与了我们使命的履行:因着耶稣,我们去接触失丧的,彼此相爱,并侍奉主。

我们教会的工作是由无数人共同完成的,他们每周都以各种宝贵的方式贡献力量。我们的教牧事工团队领导、支持并装备圣保罗教会的成员们开展这项工作。

Integrity and transparency

在圣保罗,我们力求透明与诚信,关爱弱势群体。这体现了我们所事奉的神,以及祂呼召我们成为的社群。

We are committed to protecting and promoting the physical, emotional and spiritual safety of children within our church community. Our children and youth leaders have a Working with Children Check, and stay up to date with their Safe Ministry training. This is the Sydney Diocese’s best practice program, equipping those who work with children and vulnerable people on safe ministry practices.

If you have any concerns or questions, you can contact our Safe Ministry representative, Noni Sinclair, or call the Safe Ministry Abuse Report Line on 1800 774 945.

Read more about how St Paul’s builds a culture of safe ministry 这里.

Jesus says that those who serve in his name have a special responsibility to protect the most vulnerable. In the New Testament, Christian leaders are to set an example to the faithful and pursue lives of godly conduct – in word and deed, in relationship with others, and in self-control. St Paul’s Anglican upholds the Faithfulness in Service Code of Conduct amongst its pastoral team. This is a national code for personal behaviour in the practice of pastoral ministry for clergy and church workers.

You can read the Code of Conduct 这里.

If you wish to raise concerns, you can contact our Senior Pastor Raj Gupta, or make a report with the Sydney Diocese’s Professional Standards Unit by calling 1800 744 945.

St Paul’s Carlingford and North Rocks is a parish in the Anglican Diocese of Sydney, operating under the authority of the Archbishop of Sydney and the Ordinances passed by the Synod.

Our church members regularly elect parish officeholders who oversee the governance and administration of resources at St Paul’s. This helps maintain a healthy, safe, and well-run church that is equipped to serve its members and the wider community.

Good governance also ensures we are transparent and ethical in all of our processes. Our officeholders work with the Senior Minister and ministry staff at St Paul’s, but independently bear the responsibility of administering our church’s finances and assets, and managing risk.

For a full description of each officeholder’s role, please get in touch.

Our 2025 parish officeholders are:

Parish Council

Ministry activities at St Paul’s are funded solely by the generosity of our church members. We seek to handle our finances with integrity and transparency; you can view our latest audited accounts 这里.
