We plan to provide nursery care during our evening sessions and a program for kids up to Grade 6. Admission to these teaching sessions is free. For more information, please call the church office at 604.932.3139.
Why this Bible conference? In Ephesians 3:20 we're told that the Lord "is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine," and sometimes He wants to do more. Suggested reading: A.W.Tozer The Pursuit of God
Sunday Morning Meetings
Starts at 10am every Sunday morning at the Myrtle Philip Community Centre at 6195 Lorimer Road. During the school year we provide nursery care and Sunday school for kids from pre-school to ages to grade 6. During the summer, our Sunday school takes a break and our nursery becomes a parents' room for parents and their toddlers ( 5 years and under), with a service speaker set up in the room.
Small Groups
Call the church office for locations of the groups meeting during the week.
What We Believe*:
*This is the Confession of Faith (Sidewalk Version) of the Canadian Conference of Mennonite Brethren Churches. See www.mbconf.ca for more information.
"We believe in God as eternal Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. God created and sustains the universe. The eternal purpose of God the Father is to create a people who will bring glory to God forever. God alone is worthy of worship.
We believe that God became human in Jesus Christ. Jesus came to restore the world because humans have rejected God in disobedience. Jesus taught and modeled the way of God’s kingdom. He died on the cross, making it possible for us to accept a renewed relationship with God. He rose from the dead, broke the power of sin and death, and frees us to live in obedience to God’s will.
We believe that God the Holy Spirit invites all people to be reconciled with God and to join the global family of faith. Believers confess their faith, are baptized, and join in the celebration of the Lord’s Supper. Through the power of the Holy Spirit and guided by the Bible, members of the church seek to live as followers of Christ and invite others to experience this new life.
As Christians we are called to turn:
- from ignorance of God to a personal relationship with God
- from bondage of sin and past mistakes to freedom, forgiveness, and healing
- from individualism to interdependence with others in the local church
- from lifestyle choices that harm us, others, and the earth to choices that nurture wholeness, healing, joy and peace
- from hating enemies and ignoring neighbors to showing love and justice to all
- from loving possessions to sharing with all in need
- from aimless existence to a mission of representing and proclaiming God’s kingdom on earth.
As Christians we look forward to the day when God will once again send Jesus to bring all things under God's eternal rule."
