Ministries
Children's Ministries
We are pleased to offer a Sunday morning of children's ministry (Preschool to Grade 6) during our Sunday School hour and a junior church program (Preschool to Grade 2) during the morning worship service. We also offer a Wednesday evening children's Gophers and Olympians program running parallel with our adult Prayer Meeting and Bible Study.
These children's ministries on Sundays allow our parents to be in their own Sunday School time and to freely participate in the Sunday morning worship service. They also allow parents, on Wednesdays, to be part of the mid week Prayer Meeting and Bible Study, while the children are being ministered to and cared for by a dedicated team of screened workers.
We view these as shared ministries with parents, helping children come to know Christ as Saviour and at the same time having them grow up as a part of the church and God's family.
Nursery
This is available for all Sunday and midweek services and staffed by dedicated workers Please check your child in to the nursery off the main hallway.
Pre-School - Grade 6
There are exciting programs for all ages so bring the children along and let them enjoy both Sunday School and the Wednesday evening Olympians or Gophers programs.
Youth Ministries
Our youth ministries are geared to reaching the spiritual needs of today’s youth, whose culture is constantly changing, with biblical truth that never changes and help them grow into life long followers of Jesus Christ, who demonstrated God's love to ward us by His death on Calvary.
Adult Ministries
The different stages of adult life involve experiences and challenges such as marriage, raising of children, changing vocations, unemployment, adjusting to the loss of a spouse, the empty nest, and more. Our adult ministries seek to encourage and prepare each life with Jesus Christ, recognizing the skills and resources each person possesses as a gift from and to God.
There are a variety of ministries for adults of all age groups ranging from those who are about to enter the workforce (College and Career) to those who have may have just retired from the workforce (Super 60's). The ministries are designed to be times of fellowship, to equip believers to be devoted followers of Jesus Christ and to reach the lost by inviting and bringing guests to any of the adult meetings.
College & Career
If you are a young adult attending university or college, or have recently started out on a new career, you are invited to join with our dynamic College and Career group.

Women of Worth
Women in today's world are struggling to find purpose and direction in their lives and they desire to know they are loved, accepted and supremely valued by the person of Jesus Christ. Our women’s ministries reach women where they are with the love of Christ.
Men of Honour
Men need to be Christ-like, but only a casual glance around our society today is required to recognize that this is not the case in many men's lives. Our men’s ministries seek to present the risen Christ who indwells and transforms men's lives.
ESL (English as a Second Language)
This is a specialized program in which we engage our international community by teaching them to communicate in the English language. The program fosters a conversation-based approach in small groups. For parents with young children, we offer a nursery and children's program.
