About Us


The focus of our faith family is rooted in the parable of the Good Samaritan: “Love God, Love Neighbour, Love Self.” We aim to draw closer to God and live out the call to help our neighbours.


We offer ample curb-side parking around the church, as well as in the Courthouse parking lot adjacent to Paterson Park. Parking is free after 5:30 pm daitly, and all Saturday & Sunday.
 

Our services are approx. 50-60 minutes long, with a strong musical focus. We normally gather for coffee/tea and fellowship after the service. Children can sit in the pews or at a play/activity centre area during the service.


We have a new minister. Look here for more info soon!

  • Enrich each other through lifelong learning about God’s love in creation
  • Equip saints to reach others through intentional evangelism and spiritual growth
  • Be a community that welcomes and affirms all through warm fellowship
  • Be a spiritual well that refreshes people through various spiritual disciplines
  • Be a place of choice for holistic development
  • Be the Church that is responsible, responsive and relevant, here and abroad
