Surrounded by rainforest, national parks, rivers and beaches, and situated approximately halfway between Sydney and the QLD border, Kempsey is serviced by the North Coast railway line and Port Macquarie airport (approximately 30 minutes away).

Our Parish family has a rich heritage. It is truly a life-giving community celebrating the faith handed down by all the faith-filled people who have gone before us. Each and every day we strive to live out our vision: “Glorifying God by our lives as we journey and serve together.”

We have churches across the Macleay Valley including :- Kempsey, South West Rocks, Crescent Head, Smithtown and Willawarrin.
