The Parishes of Maleny and Palmwoods are warm, vibrant family of small churches nestled in the beautiful Sunshine Coast Hinterland region with locations across Maleny, Montville, Kenilworth, and Palmwoods.
We acknowledge the Jinibara and Kabi Kabi peoples, the traditional custodians of the lands across which we gather. We honour their voice and continuing connection to land, waters, sky and culture. We express our intention to better cherish our First Nations sisters and brothers, and our commitment to reconciliation.
We embrace an inclusive, generous and open-hearted Anglicanism, valuing the richness of our tradition where differences are seen as gifts to be valued and treasured.
We take seriously the imperative to love one another and embrace the mission of the global Anglican communion to:
– To promote the community of God, characterised by compassion, belonging and hopefulness
– To nurture the spiritual growth of all people
– To respond to human need with loving service
– To reject violence of all kinds and seek the transformation of unjust systems
– To safeguard and restore the integrity of creation
We publicly support LGBTQIA+ people and take seriously the responsibility to safeguard LGBTQIA+ people of faith. You can read our #HonestChurch statement >here<
