Welcome!
Welcome to this website about Anglicans in the Northern Mallee.
The site is a virtual window to our mission and ministry in the north-western corner of Victoria. You can explore how we are engaging our community in the name of Christ.
The Anglican Parish of the Northern Mallee covers some 20,000 square kilometers and is situated along the Murray River and borders both New South Wales and South Australia. 60,000 people call this region home and our major industries include agriculture and tourism. 95% of of Australia's dried vine fruit and 74% of the table grapes are grown in our district. Wheat and barley, nuts, olives, citrus, asparagus and carrots all compliment Australian tables.
Our ministry is expressed in three centres in Mildura, Merbein and Irymple. A team of 4 clergy gather each community around the Eucharist. In addition we offer pastoral and ministry oversight in the neighbouring Parishes of Robinvale/ Manangatang and Wentworth/Dareton.
We are a community re-energised to follow Christ in our worship and service in the community. Our worship is Anglican in its expression, contemporary and inclusive of all.
You will be welcomed to our worship and activities; I hope you find this website is able to support your faith and growth.
Archdeacon Michael Hopkins
Rector.
Our Mission
Mobilised to change people’s lives.
Our Vision
Is to transform the life of the church and community in the Northern Mallee.
Our life will be enriched through the celebration of our worship, our study and learning together and our demonstrated concern for local and global issues.
We will organise our finances, reorganise our worship times and establish new engaging opportunities for nurturing new people into the church.
We will all actively participate in becoming a welcoming and nurturing community of believers. Part of this task will include the task of maturing our faith and becoming a church recognised as a leader of our community.
We will recruit clergy and staff to assist us to develop this vision
