About Us
Mission Statement
Inspiring faith, practicing compassion and building connection in our community and the world.
Vision Statement
To be courageous and creative people empowered by the Spirit to practice love, reconciliation and justice with authenticity. To be a spiritual home where Jesus' love for all is visible as we serve our diverse and multigenerational community.
Truth & Reconciliation
We acknowledge that we walk and meet upon the traditional territories of the Haudenosaunee and the Anishinaabe peoples.
We recognize their history, spirituality, culture and stewardship of the lands.
We would also like to acknowledge that these are the treaty lands of the Williams Treaty.
We acknowledge this land and these peoples because the first step to reconciliation is recognizing the Indigenous people in this place we call Canada.
A shared understanding of our collective past will help us walk together into a better future.
