Welcome
to St Paul’s
Manly
An inclusive church
At St Paul’s “we love because God first loved us” (1 Jn. 4:19). We believe in the inherent goodness of all people – that the divine dwells at the heart of all living things. We believe the whole world is sacred and so we seek to celebrate God’s presence among us with joy. As such, we are committed to the spiritual growth and wellbeing of all who seek a place to belong. St Paul’s is an inclusive church, welcoming all and offering equal opportunities for those seeking an authentic spiritual community. As all people belong in God, all people belong in St Paul’s. Come say G’day!
St Paul’s Parish Council
St Paul’s is unique. We are a small church with a big heart. We are also a virtual parish. We don’t own any buildings. Loving God as a community of faith is our priority. We proudly honour our history while genuinely seeking the future in to which God invites us. We do not take ourselves too seriously, love a laugh and good coffee!
Our common purpose, in to which you are welcome, is a rhythm of authentic Christian spirituality centred on Jesus Christ, practiced in communion, grounded in centuries of tradition. St Paul’s Manly…a community of peace and prayer that nourishes our contemplative spirituality and our call to action.
