ABOUT US

WHO WE ARE

One Church. Many parishes. For the benefit of others. 

Playing our part in restoring lives, revitalising churches, 
and transforming the Gold Coast with the love of Jesus. 
 
This shapes everything we do; how we gather, how we lead, and how we live. 
 
We believe that when Jesus is made known, lives change, communities grow stronger, and hope takes root. 
 
We’re not building one large church in one place. We’re building local church communities across the Gold Coast each rooted in its neighbourhood, known for its relationships, and committed to serving others. 

OUR VISION

Our story stretches back generations on the Gold Coast, beginning with the faithful community in Burleigh Heads in 1926, and followed not long after by the beginnings of other parish communities across the region, including Robina and Palm Beach. For many years, these churches lived and served faithfully in their own local contexts—each with its own story, people, and expression of faith. 

In recent years, we’ve sensed a shared calling to come together. Not to lose what has been, but to step into something new becoming one church expressed through many parishes. 

Now, as Holy Trinity, we carry that legacy forward honouring where we’ve come from while stepping into who God is calling us to be, as we arise, shine, and make Jesus known across our city.  

“Arise, shine, for your light has come…” 

Isaiah 60:1 

Our Beliefs

The Anglican Church of Australia makes, through its constitution, the following Fundamental Declarations:

1. The Anglican Church of Australia being a part of the One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church of Christ, holds the Christian Faith as professed by the Church of Christ from primitive times and in particular as set forth in the creeds known as the Nicene Creed and the Apostles’ Creed.

2. This Church receives all the canonical scriptures of the Old and New Testaments as being the ultimate rule and standard of faith given by inspiration of God and containing all things necessary for salvation.

3. This Church will ever obey the commands of Christ, teach His doctrine, administer His sacraments of Holy Baptism and Holy Communion, follow and uphold His discipline and preserve the three orders of bishops, priests and deacons in the sacred ministry.

Part I, Chapter I, Constitution of the Anglican Church of Australia

Upon their ordination, clergy in the Anglican Church of Australia are required to make an oath to uphold these declarations.

The Anglican Church of Australia, being derived from the Church of England, retains and approves the doctrine and principles of the Church of England embodied in the Book of Common Prayer together with the Form and Manner of Making Ordaining and Consecrating of Bishops, Priests and Deacons and in the Articles of Religion, sometimes called the Thirty-nine Articles, but has authority at its own discretion to make statements as to the faith ritual ceremonial or discipline of the Australian Church and to order its forms of worship.

We believe in one God, the Father, the Almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all that is, seen and unseen.

We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ, the only Son of God, eternally begotten of the Father, God from God, light from light, true God from true God, begotten, not made, of one Being with the Father; through him all things were made. For us and for our salvation he came down from heaven, was incarnate of the Holy Spirit and the Virgin Mary and became truly human. For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate; he suffered death and was buried. On the third day he rose again in accordance with the Scriptures; he ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead, and his kingdom will have no end.

We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son, who with the Father and the Son is worshiped and glorified, who has spoken through the prophets.

We believe in one holy catholic and apostolic Church. We acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins.

We look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come. Amen.
