Companion animals are part of our community online.
We give thanks for them, include them in our gatherings, and share about their place in our spiritual lives. We pray for them, see to their welfare and make connections with animals as a focus.
Animals are an expression of God’s love and remind us of our mission and vocation to care for creation with faithful stewardship.
From companion animals we receive: unconditional love, peace, joy, inspiration, comfort, care, patience and understanding.
We embrace the opportunity to minister to people through ministry with companion animals at each stage of life.
In giving animals’ mutual love and respect, we encounter God in the love that animals’ gift to us.
Our relationship with God and animals give us second chances in the universal language of love and forgiveness.
We advocate for the welfare of creation by raising our voice as a Church for those who can’t speak for themselves.
Both in and out of Church community animals are at the centre of our lives and we celebrate our animals as members of our Holy Hermits Online family.
