I heard on the news yesterday that one in five young adults are committing suicide , I believe this is a result from bullying on the internet as I see it myself often, pray that Canadians would rise up against drug dealers as the bullying is an easy path to hook these young folk with alternative highs other than the presence of the Holy Spirit. Pray for a big sports complex here in the city that would occupy the youth in a positive way.

Get Connected

It's easy to feel like an outsider, especially in the church. We want to change that. We're striving to create a community where we all belong and no one goes through life alone. And that includes you.

JOIN A LIFE GROUP

LIFE GROUPS

Life Groups are smaller communities where people learn to eat together, pray together, and love together. Most of our Life Groups consist of 8-12 people who meet weekly or bi-weekly in fall, winter, and spring.

Joining a Life Group initially takes a risk, but we believe it’s well-worth the payoff. It’s worth it to realize that life doesn’t have to be lived on your own. It’s worth it to find a place where you can ask honest questions and learn from the experiences of others. It’s worth finding people who are in your corner when you need it most, and discovering you can be that person for others.

And it’s worth it because, not only is life better together, but our Life Groups and our church will be better with you in them!
