Values supporting the vision:

Our Lutheran heritage of grace.
Our call to pray, worship and learn as we grow in our Christian faith.
Our need to gather and belong in Christian community.
The call to love our neighbours as Christ loves us.
The acceptance of all people as children of God.
The opportunities to meet God everywhere.

Pastor Tuula Van Gaasbeek's Celebration of Ministry

On Saturday, 18th October, we gathered together to celebrate the incredible career of our wonderful Pastor, Rev. Tuula Van Gaasbeek, who is retiring from full-time ministry. 

It was a day filled with joy, laughter, stories, and tears, as people came from far and wide to honour our pastor who has touched so many lives over the years. 

Leading with grace, wisdom, and above all, love, Pastor Tuula has always reminded us of the power of faith in everyday life. Her compassion, encouragement, and steady guidance has been a blessing to our church family and beyond. And her dedication to those in need, her passion for community outreach, and her commitment to interfaith work is truly inspiring.

Though she’s stepping back from full-time ministry, her legacy of faith and kindness will continue to shape us for years to come. 

From all of us at St. Philip's and beyond, thank you, Pastor Tuula, for everything. May God bless you richly in this new season of rest and renewal. 

You can see the photos from the day here.
