About Us

Welcome to Julia Street Community Church.

  • We are a family of God striving to live out our love for Christ by loving people and reaching the world.
  • Our core values from which we strive to fulfill this mission are to be a church family that is Christ Centered, Authentic, Welcoming, Compassionate, Serving and Connected… all of which speak of community.
  • We have a deep passion to not only live authentically for Christ but to also bring His love to our neighbourhoods, our communities, our province, our nation, and our world in visible and tangible ways.
  • We fully acknowledge that we are not there yet and quite possibly will never get there, but then again that is the joy of the journey – striving to be better than we were yesterday and setting a goal before us that will have to be obtained by the generations that follow. 
  • After you have had a chance to browse our site please feel free to connect with us regarding any questions you might have or better yet, come visit us on Sunday morning for a great time of worship. 
  • Our 10:00am morning service is casual, warm and welcoming and goes for about an hour and a half. We join together for a time of singing, praying and studying God’s word followed by a time of coffee and refreshments downstairs.
  • You can also join us on-line (Facebook or YouTube) every Sunday morning at 10:20am to listen to Pastor Don’s message.

Looking forward to meeting you

Serving Him together as He leads us on

Pastor Don

Our Pastor

I’ve been living in the grace, mercy and love of Jesus since November 3, 1982. A lot of living and blessing and growing and heartbreak and healing has passed my way. I’m stronger in my faith because of the life He has called me to live these past 40+ years. 

Don Huston

Lead Pastor

I’ve pastored in three different churches (Youth Pastor, Church Planter and Lead Pastor) for a total of 20 years in pastoral ministry. I’ve also served as a Registered Clinical Counsellor for 15 years which took place between my time as a church planting and a lead pastor. I’ve witnessed the depths of human pain and suffering as well as the deep healing and restorative power of Christ in the broken lives that He has allowed to cross my path.  

My deepest prayer is to witness individuals, couples and families experiencing the profound love, grace and mercy of Christ is such a powerful life changing way that they are freed up to love God with all their heart, soul, mind and strength and in turn, to learn how to love themselves and their neighbours with Christ’s love.
