Mission Statement
We believe God has given us a vision of being one church, establishing multiplying, missional, Christian communities through the power of the Holy Spirit for the sake of the Kingdom in our neighbourhoods, cities, nation and world. We have been called by and to Jesus to be in and for our neighbourhoods.
About This Cause
Some of the ways we love and serve our neighbourhood is through: 1. participating with Cobs Bread in their “End of Day Giving” program every week in some of our neighbourhoods. At the end of each day Cobs gives away all of the bread and sweets that they have left. We have a variety of volunteers that help to pick up, bag and deliver the bread to disadvantaged families in our neighbourhood. 2. hosting family night events such as (1) gym nights. They are informal evenings of games for the kids and adults-and they spark some great “get to know you” conversations! AND (2) free family movie nights in our communities to encourage our neighbours to get to know one another, while providing a place for families to have time together without having to spend money. We also use these evenings as a way to collect food donations for our local Food Bank. 3. caring for those who are homeless and struggling with poverty. We work alongside the Salvation Army in fundraising for homeless projects and by hosting weekly dinners provided by the Salvation Army. We continue to host the Vancouver Food Bank at our Edmonds Town Centre campus as we have for over fifteen years. We’ve been involved with Surrey’s Christian street ministry, Nightshift, and we partner with the Burnaby Homeless Task Force in a weekly homeless outreach. 4. helping immigrants in our neighbourhoods transition well by offering immigrants a safe place to learn English and get acquainted with Canada through the local community 5. By being involved with Journey Home Community, who serve refugee claimant families as well as with International Teams: “Ride For Refuge,” fundraising for projects that help refugees in Metro Vancouver as well as around the world. 6. By offering music lessons for all ages through the Shire Music Centre
