Who We Are

Historically, we are called St. John the Baptist, Oak RIdges. However, "Light on the Hill" became our church's colloquial reference when one news publication in the 50s described us as such. Today, we are an evangelical “fresh expressions” church that serves in and around Richmond Hill and York Region. Institutionally, we are one parish among hundreds of others in the Anglican Diocese of Toronto.

What We Believe
  • We believe the Holy Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments to be the revealed Word of God containing all things necessary to salvation. 
  • We worship one God in three Persons, praying to the Father through the Son by the Holy Spirit. 
  • We take part in the sacraments of holy communion and baptism, ordained by Christ himself, through the ministry of the apostolic orders. 
  • We are an integral part of the one Body of Christ composed of churches which, united under the headship of Jesus, are in the fellowship of the one holy catholic and apostolic Church throughout the ages. 
  • We hold the one faith revealed in Holy Scripture, and defined in the creeds as maintained by the undivided primitive Church in the undisputed Ecumenical Councils. 
  • We belong to the worldwide Anglican Communion under the leadership of the Archbishop of Canterbury. 
  • We pray for the healing of the Church’s sad divisions and for the reunification of the Body of Christ.
