Wow, what an amazing evening. It was an absolute delight to be with you at your 5pm service on 30 June. The warm welcome, the seamless teamwork, the prayer, worship team and message were clear, concise and outstanding. It was a real joy to see an Anglican Church flowing so beautifully in the Holy Spirit. Abundant blessings to all.

I visited the church when I was heading to Manly. There was an officer who was friendly and kind. He is good, allowing for the people to enter the church.

Excellent experience. I'm non religious but found myself singing along to the large words projected on a big screen. Peaceful message, good music, good musicianship.

Friendly, vibrant Christian church community in the centre of Manly. Four services each Sunday catering for all age groups, tastes and preferences of worship, traditional and contemporary music, fabulous organist at early service playing traditional hymns and an enthusiastic band for contemporary songs. Good biblical teaching. A great Welcome to visitors.
