A Sunday Teaching Service For You
The Link is St. Anianus’ main teaching service. Starting at 11:30 AM on Sunday mornings, it’s a time to come for encouragement, get a dose of early Christian teaching for the contemporary world, and build a sense of community.
Each week at The Link, we discuss topics that are relevant to your life, that help you to grow, and offer you an opportunity to discuss them in small groups with other believers.
While you are spending time being spiritually nourished at The Link, your kids can benefit from our children’s ministry for kids from nursery through high school.
We believe that it is in the living body of Christ – which is the Church – that true healing of the whole person can be realized. It is for this reason that our aim is to be The Link to Christ.
