Who We Are, Our Values & Beliefs

St. Paul's Anglican Community Committee (SPACC) is an independent, non-profit and secular organization comprised of former members of the congregation as well as citizens in the village and surrounding area. 

This innovative outreach program would not be possible without the support of Leeds Anglican Ministries and the Anglican Diocese of Ontario. By working in partnership with the the Diocese of Ontario, the Ontario Heritage Trust, the Township of Rideau Lakes and with the support of other community groups, our goal is to repurpose the deconsecrated church and its attached hall into a community hub. A place where together, we can help to build a better community for everyone.

Built in 1811, St. Paul’s history of shared use between multiple congregations tells the story of Delta’s early religious history and its role in the development of the village. For more than two centuries, St. Paul’s was an integral part of the community, and not just for those who gathered to worship. St. Paul’s provided a warm and welcoming venue for community fellowship, where the Grace of God and the love of neighbours and friends touched people’s hearts and minds. And now, that same love of community and support to those in need is required more than ever.

We believe that peace comes from relationships that honour personal dignity, freedom, mutual trust, care, kindness, and respect. This is the foundation and framework of St. Paul’s Anglican Community Centre. Our fundamental obligation is to assist in the welfare of all members of our community, especially those who are vulnerable through age, infirmity, circumstances of dependency, or personal situations.
