Building Community
God has called us to himself not individually, but through membership in the body of Christ, so spiritual growth and friendship go together. We believe that our prayer and study go deeper, our ministries of service are more valuable, and our worship honours God more fully, when we pursue these activities as a community.
Details about special events and announcements about recurring programs can be found on our Facebook page, or you can view our calendar. Most programs take a break during the summer months, although there may be special events.
