Welcome to our website
We trust that you will find some useful information on
our site and encourage you to visit us at one of our
services or groups where you will be warmly welcomed.
We are situated on the beautiful central coast of New
South Wales in the Lakes Anglican Parish and the
Anglican Diocese of Newcastle, in a rapidly expanding
area.  We have a diverse range of people living in the
area - many retirees, but also many young families.
It is our desire to reach out to these and all people in
God's love and to build a vibrant and caring community.

The annual Synod Eucharist was held at the
Church of the Holy Spirit on Thursday evening
September 20, 2007 where it was officially
proclaimed that the Parish of Gorokan would
now be known as Lakes Anglican.
Our new logo is a sign of the journey we are
on as a parish.  The letters L&A which look a
bit like sails, are joined together as we are all
joined together in God's love and forgiveness.
The cross of the old logo has been simplified,
and is made up of different pieces, reminding
us of the fact that we who are many are one
body in Christ.  Superimposed on the cross
are the dove and the flames, symbols of the
Holy Spirit, as we continue the Church of the
Holy Spirit.  The colours of blue and red
continue from the old logo, reminding us of
water and fire, the symbols of our Baptism
and the Spirit at work in our lives.
