Missions
“We are a Christ honouring, Spirit filled family of God serving the community and the world around us through visible expressions of Christ’s love and compassion.”
This is our mission.
One of the ways in which we are striving ‘to express Christ’s love in visible ways’ is by coming alongside and supporting various ministries and
mission organizations.
We believe that missions start at home and go global, so we support various ministries locally, provincially, nationally and globally.
