ABOUT OUR CHURCH
For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.” (Mark 10:42-45)
​
Jesus didn't just wear a crown, He wore an apron. He is the ultimate servant to others. His service of us and His example drive us to sacrificially serve one another at Northern Hope.

OUR STORY...
At Northern Hope Anglican Church, Cairns
we are a group of ordinary people following an extraordinary God, and under him started this new church aligned with Gafcon and in the new diocese of the Southern Cross on the 8.1.23. Empowered by the Spirit we are hoping to make disciples of Jesus to the glory of God the Father.
WHAT WE BELIEVE
The GAFCON journey began in 2008 when moral compromise, doctrinal error and the collapse of biblical witness in parts of the Anglican communion had reached such a level that the leaders of the majority of the world’s Anglicans felt it was necessary to take a united stand for truth. A crowd of more than one thousand witnesses, including Primates, Archbishops, Bishops, clergy and lay leaders gathered in Jerusalem for the first Global Anglican Future Conference (GAFCON)
​
GAFCON Australia is the local Australian expression of GAFCON. Its principal objectives are:
​
-
To promote orthodox Anglican faith and practice as set forth in the Jerusalem Declaration and in the Fundamental Declarations and Ruling Principles of the Constitution of the Anglican Church of Australia;
-
To help reform, heal and revitalize the Anglican Communion and expand its mission to the world.
-
To provide fellowship to orthodox Anglicans who find themselves in a minority position in their own Dioceses due to the actions of others who depart from orthodox faith and practice.
Northern Hope Anglican Church assents to the GAFCON Jerusalem Declaration (2008) and supports GAFCON Australia in its objectives and aims.
