Since June 2022
Everyone has a place in this church.
We began as a small congregation with a big heart. From the beginning we have been committed to serving not only our members but the wider community, through food drives, support services, and simply showing up for our neighbours.
Our mission is to share the teachings of Jesus Christ, serve with compassion, and provide a nurturing environment for spiritual growth, in two languages and one family.
Serve with us.

Words we live by
What guides this church.
"Cherchez l'Éternel pendant qu'il se trouve." Seek the Lord while he may be found.
God has displayed his power in Christ, raising him from the dead and seating him at his right hand in the heavenly places, above all dominion, authority, power, dignity, and name.
To share the teachings of Jesus Christ, serve with compassion, and provide a nurturing environment for spiritual growth.
