Parish of Robinvale / Manangatang

St Peter's Robinvale, St Andrew's Manangatang, Congregation of St Philip's Boundary Bend

Our parish vision is to be a  "Caring Church which is Building Bridges, Proclaiming Jesus and Making Disciples"  The ministries and activities we run seek to achieve this vision.  The parish offers a combination of traditional Anglican worship along with a more contemporary style.  We are also seeking to be a children friendly church. In our ministries we want people to know that Jesus is alive, he can make a real difference to people's lives, and God wants a relationship with us.

Our parish area includes broad acre farming of the Mallee and irrigation farming of vines, citrus, almonds, olives (and many other crops) along the Murray river.

If you are ever in the area it would be great for you to join us at a worship service.
