Travel With Us To Colombia

The time has come for us to bring a taste of our exciting mission trip to Colombia. We invite you to come this Sunday morning as we share some of the great things learned by our team members.  We will show what God allowed us to do in contributing to build a Gymnatorium in Chiquinquira, Colombia. 

You will hear beautiful testimonies from some of our team members of what God did in their hearts as they ministered. We will also do an interview with some of the team members highlighting their experience on the trip. Finally, Pastor Pat Russell will bring a challenging message entitled "Break up the Fallow Ground." 

We look forward to being with you at church as we worship together, see what God is doing in another part of the world, and hear the Word of God. We invite you to bring a friend as we come together and celebrate all that God is doing.

Bible Study: Revelation 17 — The Destruction of Ecclesiastical Babylon
The book of Revelation contains some of the most powerful and symbolic imagery in all of Scripture. This week we will explore the striking vision of a woman riding a scarlet beast—symbolizing a corrupt world system that has deceived the nations.

What does this mysterious passage mean? Who or what is “Babylon the Great”? And what does this message reveal about spiritual deception, worldly power, and God’s ultimate victory?

Join us as we unpack the symbolism of this chapter and discover how it speaks to us today.

Finding Freedom Through Boundaries

Can you forgive someone and still set limits? Absolutely. In this empowering message, we’ll explore the vital difference between forgiveness and reconciliation—and why they are not the same. Forgiveness releases bitterness; reconciliation requires repentance and rebuilt trust.

Discover how healthy, biblical boundaries protect your peace, restore clarity, and create space for true healing in relationships. Learn how to move forward without guilt, how to love without enabling, and how God uses boundaries not to divide—but to bring freedom.

If you’ve ever struggled with knowing when to forgive, when to trust again, and how to guard your heart while honoring Christ, this message will give you practical wisdom and spiritual confidence to walk in freedom.

Bible Study: Revelation 16 — The Vials of the Wrath of God
Join us as we explore the powerful imagery of the seven vials of God’s wrath. Discover what these judgments reveal about God’s holiness, justice, and ultimate victory over evil. This study will deepen your understanding of prophecy, strengthen your faith, and remind you that Christ reigns—even in the midst of judgment.

WHY YOU NEED TO LEARN ABOUT BILL C-9
Bill C-9 proposes significant changes to Canada’s Criminal Code aimed at addressing hate-motivated conduct, including new hate crime offences and expanded protections for places of worship and other institutions. However, the bill’s broad language could weaken constitutionally guaranteed freedoms such as freedom of expression, peaceful assembly, and religious expression. The removal of protections for “good-faith” religious expression and the creation of new offences tied to symbols or public demonstrations could have far-reaching effects on everyday speech and civic action.

Finding Freedom Through Forgiveness

Holding onto unforgiveness can quietly imprison the heart—but God invites us into a greater freedom. Join us for a powerful message as we discover how releasing past hurts opens the door to healing, peace, and restored joy. Rooted in Scripture and real-life application, this sermon will challenge us to let go of bitterness, embrace God’s grace, and walk in the freedom Christ offers.

Revelation 15: ‘The Vision of the Seven Last Plagues’
In this compelling Bible lesson we step into one of the most awe-inspiring scenes in Scripture—a heavenly vision that reveals God’s holiness, justice, and ultimate victory.
Before judgment is poured out on the earth, John is shown a worship-filled moment in heaven, reminding us that God’s actions are always righteous and purposeful.

This lesson explores the meaning and significance of the seven last plagues, the song of Moses and the Lamb, and what this powerful chapter teaches us about God’s glory, faithfulness, and the seriousness of rejecting His truth. Rather than producing fear, it calls believers to reverent worship, confident trust, and steadfast hope in God’s righteous plan.

THIS SUNDAY – ‘PREPARING THE MESSENGER’
God is still asking the question He asked Isaiah: “Whom shall I send, and who will go for Us?” (Isaiah 6:8). Before God sends us, He prepares us. Join us for a powerful message titled “Preparing the Messenger” as we explore what it means to fully surrender to God’s call, develop Christ-like compassion for the lost, and walk in Spirit-empowered boldness to share our faith. Jesus looked at the crowds with compassion (Matthew 9:36), and the Apostle Paul prayed for courage to speak the gospel fearlessly (Ephesians 6:19). That same call and power are available to us today.  This message will challenge your heart, stir your faith, and remind you that God uses willing, compassionate, and courageous people to advance His kingdom.

THIS SUNDAY – ‘PREPARING THE MESSENGER’
God is still asking the question He asked Isaiah: “Whom shall I send, and who will go for Us?” (Isaiah 6:8). Before God sends us, He prepares us. Join us for a powerful message titled “Preparing the Messenger” as we explore what it means to fully surrender to God’s call, develop Christ-like compassion for the lost, and walk in Spirit-empowered boldness to share our faith. Jesus looked at the crowds with compassion (Matthew 9:36), and the Apostle Paul prayed for courage to speak the gospel fearlessly (Ephesians 6:19). That same call and power are available to us today.  This message will challenge your heart, stir your faith, and remind you that God uses willing, compassionate, and courageous people to advance His kingdom.
Communion Sunday is the 2nd Sunday of the month so come ready to partake with us!

Happy New Year - 'You are called to go!’

We wish you and your family a very happy new year!  We begin this new year responding to Jesus call to us to go.  In this Sunday’s powerful message “You Are Called To Go,” we’ll explore how Jesus invites us to step into deeper faith (Luke 5:4), live out the Great Commission (Matthew 28:19), and respond with urgency because the harvest is ready now (John 4:35). This sermon will challenge you to move beyond fear, comfort, and delay—and to obey God’s call with courage and faith.  Come ready to be stirred, stretched, and sent—because you are called to go, which is our theme for this year’s 21 Days of Fasting & Prayer.

BUILDING FUND SUNDAY is the first Sunday of the month.  We invite you to give an offering and be part of the miracle of seeing our mortgage retired!  Thank you for catching the vision!

The Miracle of the Mission

The Christmas story is one filled with miracles — the miracle of timing of Christ’s birth, the miracle of the message of His purpose in coming, and  the miracle of God coming near to us. But there is one more miracle we cannot overlook: the miracle of the mission.

The Christmas story didn’t end at the manger—it started there. The birth of Jesus launched a mission that has shaped history for over two thousand and twenty-five years.  From Bethlehem to today, God has been drawing people to His Son. And the miracle is this: He invites us—ordinary people—into that mission. Christmas isn’t just a story of what happened once it’s a story of what God is still doing.  Learn more about it this Sunday!

IT’S ALSO MISSIONS SUNDAY, featuring a testimony from Pastor Shamoon about his missions trip to Pakistan this year.  We encourage you to include an offering towards missions and to mark your envelope accordingly.  Please note this Sunday and New Year’s Eve will be the final opportunities for financial giving in 2025.

NO PASTOR’S CHAT for the next two Sundays (Dec 28 & Jan 4) as we take a holiday break.

START THE NEW YEAR IN WORSHIP!  Step into the New Year with a powerful night of praise, hope, and renewal at our New Year’s Worship Concert featuring John Wilds and his team. As we leave the old behind and look ahead with faith, this special evening will be filled with uplifting worship, inspiring moments, and an atmosphere where hearts are refreshed and faith is strengthened.  Bring your friends and family and celebrate the start of the year by lifting the name of Jesus together. Let this be more than a concert—make it a spiritual marker for the year ahead. Tickets are limited ($25)—purchase yours today and secure your spot!

Don’t miss this unforgettable night of worship as we begin the New Year in God’s presence!

The Miracle of the Moment

You’re invited to join us for a joyful and powerful new December Christmas Message series called ‘The Miracles of Christmas’. This Sunday, we launch by exploring The Miracle of the Moment, a powerful reminder that God moves with precision and purpose. 

Christmas didn’t begin with chaos—it began with perfect timing.  From ancient prophecies to a Roman census, from a dusty road to a humble stable, God was orchestrating every detail to bring His Son into the world “at just the right time” (Gal. 4:4–5). In a season that often feels hurried and behind schedule, discover how the birth of Jesus reveals that God is never late, never early—always right on time. Whether you’re waiting, wondering, or weary, come be encouraged by the truth that the same God who perfectly timed Bethlehem is perfectly timing your life. Don’t miss Part 1 of our Christmas series—hope arrives right on time!

Building Fund Sunday is also this Sunday, so come ready to give an offering to help us retire our mortgage.  We will share an exciting update about our recent refinancing!

Pastor’s Chat, Sunday, 8pm - ‘When God Says, “Delay No Longer’ (Revelation 10) – Join us for a captivating Bible lesson as we witness the appearance of the mighty angel, the little scroll, and the powerful message John is commissioned to proclaim.  We’ll uncover the meaning behind the angel wrapped in cloud and crowned with a rainbow; the significance of the seven thunders; why John was told to eat the scroll—and what it means for believers today; the ongoing mission of God’s people in a world longing for truth.

Remembering God’s Faith

The month of October is going to be a season of gratitude, not for just a day, but for the entire month!

This Is War

This isn’t a game. This isn’t a drill.  This is war.

This Sunday, join us for a powerful and eye-opening message titled “THIS IS WAR”, where we expose the real battle every believer is facing — a battle not against people, politics, or circumstances, but against spiritual forces of darkness that are working overtime to destroy your purpose, your peace, and your faith.

Ephesians 6:10–12

"Finally, be strong in the Lord and in His mighty power. Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood..."

In this message, you’ll discover:

  • The unseen war raging around you every day

  • Why your strength alone isn’t enough

  • What it really means to wear the armor of God

  • How to stand firm when the enemy comes for your mind, your family, and your calling.

You were not meant to live defeated. You were called to fight — not with fear, but with faith, the Word of God and the power of the Holy Spirit. It’s time to stop being surprised by the struggle and start standing in victory.

The Battle Cry

When soldiers go out to fight their enemy, the sound that is often heard is a "battle cry" that unites them in their goal of taking on the enemy. At this time in history, I believe we are in a war for the hearts, minds and souls of our young people. There are so many voices speaking to them - which voice is right? Which direction should they take? I invite you to join us this Sunday morning for the message, "The Battle Cry".

This will be a message looking at some of the challenges that young people are facing today as they have gone back to school. We will also look at some of the ways that we as families and the church can offer practical help to our students as they face certain trials in our school systems. This message will also set the stage for our Prayer and Anointing Service that will take place Friday evening September 26th at 6:30 pm. We are looking forward to seeing you as we worship the Lord and delve into His word together!

OCTOBER – A MONTH OF THANKSGIVING
