Faith, Life, and a Handsome Dog

The handsome dude in the photo is Humphrey. The other guy is the church rector, Fr. Andrew.

Humphrey belongs to a line of Dobermans whose job has been to keep Andrew’s theology grounded and true. He has his work cut out for him.

At St. Clement’s, we believe that faith isn’t about having all the answers. It’s about learning to live with trust, wonder, and courage — and sometimes a little holy mischief.

Here’s a glimpse of what matters to us:

Faith

Faith isn’t something you either have or don’t. It’s a journey, a relationship, a muscle to be exercised, a long conversation with a living God who loves us as we are but refuses to leave us that way.

We trust that God is always at work — even in the messiness of our lives — and that the resurrection wasn’t the end of the story, but the beginning of ours.

Spirituality

Spirituality is how faith takes root in real life.

It’s the quiet moment of prayer before the day begins.

It’s the messy conversation over coffee after church.

It’s the way we listen, forgive, serve, and hope — not because life is easy, but because love is stronger.

Worship

Worship at St. Clement’s is a little like family dinner: sometimes formal, sometimes a bit rowdy, but always centred on love.

We gather to remember who we are — and whose we are — through Scripture, prayer, music, silence, and the mystery of Holy Communion.

You don’t have to be perfect to join in. (Just ask Humphrey.)

Service

Faith isn’t meant to stay inside the church walls.

We believe that God sends us out — to care for neighbours, stand with the vulnerable, and live lives of compassion and courage.

Service is not just what we do; it’s who we’re called to be.

Come and see. Come and stay. Bring your whole self. Even if you’re a little battered, a little skeptical, a little unsure.
(We are too, sometimes.)
