The Parish church is located in the historic township of Kilmore, Victoria’s oldest inland town.
We celebrate and preach the incarnation. Jesus Christ is Emmanuel ‘God with us.’ It is this faith in Christ, God made man, crucified and risen, and alive today, that lies at the heart of our Parish life. We strive to live this faith in the power of the Spirit.
It is our aim to be an all inclusive, welcoming and hospitable community of faith, to all comers, and to reach out into our wider communities, proclaiming Christ’s gospel, of reconciliation, compassion and love.
