Welcome

Message from the Rector

We extend to you a warm St. Aidan's welcome! “St. Aidan’s Church is just a step away from paradise…” quoted parishioner Hal Tucker. Situated just across the street from Paradise Cove in Malibu, people from all walks of life have been drawn to this community of faith. We invite you to visit, worship with us, get to know us and discern whether this may be a place of spiritual nurture and service for you. St. Aidan’s is an “open church”, meaning that we welcome skeptics and seekers as well as committed believers. We trust that when two or three are gathered, Christ is there also! Inspired by the good news of Jesus Christ, we seek to love and transform the world we live in, celebrating God's creation around us, and the image of God in every individual. We hope our website offers you a glimpse of who we are in response to the good news of Jesus Christ. May God bless each of us on our earthly pilgrimage.

Pastoral Care

At St. Aidan's we seek to be Christ to one another, even and especially in times of need. Every Sunday prayers are lifted up for family and friends who have been added to our parish prayer list. The clergy are available to visit those in the hospital and to take communion to those unable to come to church. A host of Licensed Lay Eucharistic Ministers also engage in the ministry. In addition, there  is a group of parishioners who, as members of  “The Order of St. Luke, the Physician” dedicate themselves to the practice of healing prayer for those in need.

We trust that in the words of the psalmist, "The Lord is an ever present help in need." (Psalm 46:1). The rite of the anointing of the sick is administered for healing of any kind; physical, emotional, relational, by proxy, etc. This rite and other sacraments are instruments of God's grace and healing.

Please see the Sacraments page for a more Pastoral Care information and The Healing Ministry of Jesus to read more about the “Order of St. Luke, the Physician” at St. Aidan’s.
