St Oswald's Anglican Church, 100 High Street, Glen Iris, Victoria, Australia
Parish Strategic Plan
We want to invite, include, support and encourage new people in our Church.
We want to achieve this objective through building a community based parish that embraces and cares for people of all ages, establishes a culture that is outward looking and supportive of newcomers, continues to be willing to change, encourages dialogue and exploration off spirituality and life values, and grows in faithfulness, love and service.
In particular, we believe we need to do more and give special attention to young families and children because there are younger families seeking a connection with the ideas of spirituality and life values, who want to give their children the opportunity the learn Christian message, have a strong feeling for mission and social justice, and a desire to serve others in the community who are less well off.
• We exist to worship God within the Anglican tradition, and show Christianity within the wider community
• We value respect for one another, and their opinions
• We value support for one another within the parish
• We value growth in faith and its joyful expression in worship
•We look forward in hope
