COVID-19 Update
We are pressing the ‘pause’ button one more time despite our best intentions to resume in-person gatherings this upcoming weekend.
The April 6, 2021 announcement of heightened public health measures and the return to Step 1 on the provincial Path Forward has necessitated a review of our plans to relaunch Saturday evening and Sunday morning services. We will, once again, exclusively host service online until further notice, using various platforms: the website, Facebook, YouTube, Apple TV and Roku. In keeping with the scheduled spring and summer hours, service will be held Saturday 7 pm and Sunday, 10 am. Service times will be revisited again in the fall. Read the latest COVID-19 Update from Greg Hochhalter, Lead Pastor.
Life Group Spring Kits
A life group is an invitation to conversation and practicing relationship. Following Jesus has so much to do with 'living in relationship' and so we enter into circles where we can practice living as Jesus intended. Many groups are still meeting online with some starting to meet outdoors as spring and summer allow. To help you connect, we've put together a simple and ready to use resource for circling-up with 2-3 other people. Designed for everyone, these will help you bring intentionality to time already spent with friends during a walk, a video call, a yard project, or backyard fire.
In each kit you'll have access to:
- Inspiration for how to get started with 2-3 friends
- Short, engaging content and questions for reflection while you meet

Bonfire Nights
With our pausing of in-person services, we are hoping to creatively facilitate community and connection by offering an Alberta Health Services (AHS) approved space for our church and broader community to engage in outdoor social gatherings using our outdoor space.
Bonfire Nights will be held twice a week throughout the spring where you can come and reserve a firepit. Each firepit will be properly distanced from one another so you can connect and engage with friends and family safely. Watch for more information!
