A  quick welcome from Pastor Mark:

Take your Next Step Today!

Why we exist

We weren't meant to be an island in our faith.

God is relational (Father, Son, Holy Spirit), and He has always existed in community. In the same way, He has designed us for community with Him and one another as we walk through life.

As a community of people our desire is to know God: God the Father who personally welcomes us, through Jesus Christ, into His presence; God the Son - Jesus - the Living Word and objective truth behind all reality; God the Holy Spirit who empowers us to live a life for Him free from sin and fear.

As we KNOW GOD together, we ultimately want to MAKE GOD KNOWN, in our city, and in our world.

What should I wear?
Come as you are! Like most families, our church family has formal people and people who are informal. So whether you are wearing a suit or dress, or flip flops and shorts, you will likely find lots of people dressed just like you.
Parking
We have parking in our main lot, but at times it can get fairly full! Not to worry though, we also have lots of street parking as well as free parking at the mall lot across the street. In addition to this, we have reserved parking spaces for those with limited mobility by our main entrance on the North side of the building.
What is the music like?
You’ll find that we sing a mix of contemporary worship songs as well as hymns. We believe that God is worthy of all honour and praise - so we worship passionately!
