Local & Global Engagement
Join in on what God is doing - across the street and around the world.
For those who want to make a difference.
Be a part of something bigger than yourself. Through our various local and global programs, we are creating opportunities to not only meet the needs of others in meaningful ways but also experience God changing us in the process. Experience the joy of seeing God’s kingdom take root and grow in our neighbourhood and beyond. Getting involved is simple. If you’re new, make sure you check out our next Starting Point Lunch. If you’ve been a part of the church for a while and would like to get more involved, reach out to Pastor Jonathan today. He’ll connect you with the different places you can serve, and then, if it’s a good fit, you can get plugged into a regular rhythm with a team.

Our Global Projects
Peace Portal Uganda

Over 200 people from our church have visited Mpigi in the past two decades, and upcoming trips are being planned. As we move into the future, we plan to focus our efforts specifically on education and the vibrant church community that is reaching out and practically serving those in need in the Mpigi area.
