What should I wear?

Wear whatever you feel comfortable in. People here dress in many different styles, from jeans and t-shirts to shirts, dresses, ties and jackets.

Is your building accessible?

Yes it is. Our church is contemporary in style with no stairs and all facilities on ground level.

What happens when I arrive?

You will be welcomed by one of our friendly greeters. You will be free to sit wherever you are comfortable. 

What about my children?

Children are always welcome to join in during the entire service or after our Children's talk they can go with our Children, Youth and Family Team for fun activities in our nursery room.

Are you a welcoming congregation?

Yes! We are a fun group!

How will I know what to do?

We will help you. You might be wondering when you should do what: kneel, sit, stand, say “Amen.”  Just relax and follow what others are doing. But if you find it more comfortable to remain seated, or prefer to kneel, the choice is yours. We sing at many points in the 10:30 am Sunday service. Don’t worry if you don’t know the tune or you don’t feel comfortable joining in – you won’t be the only one not singing. If you feel lost, don’t hesitate to ask someone for help. We were all new once! We have dedicated screens in the church so our entire service is easily visible without having to hold a book.

Do I have to put money in the collection?

A collection is taken to support our ongoing ministry and mission. Making a financial contribution is completely voluntary. If you would like to contribute, you can use one of the envelopes for visitors you’ll find as you walk into the church or you can put your contribution straight into the wooden box also found as you walk into the church. . A tax receipt is issued for all donations over $20. Share as you can. We also accept online e-transfers:

e-Transfers can only be accepted at: [email protected]

Please include in the memo field of your e-Transfer what the funds are for, this way I can correctly code the deposit! For example: BBQ, Thanksgiving, Givings, Silent Auction, etc.  Any questions please contact Kelly at the e-Transfer email listed above.

Can I receive HOLY COMMUNION? What do I do?

Everyone is welcome to receive Communion or a Blessing as appropriate at our celebrations.  You may choose to receive the Consecrated Host (Bread) and from the Chalice (wine).  If you wish to come forward to receive only a Blessing then please come forward with your arms crossed over your chest and a  blessing will be bestowed upon you.  When it is time for the reception of Communion the sidespeople will stand in the centre aisle and direct those from the pews to move forward in turn toward the chancel steps row by row.  The priest will state “the Body of Christ” and place the Consecrated Host in your palm for you to consume at the chancel steps.  

We offer a Common Communion Cup which you are free to part of if you wish, but please do not feel obligated to do so if you choose not to.  The Chalice Bearer will be holding the Chalice and bring it to your lips, and you may help guide the Chalice for reception of the consecrated wine.  If you wish not to receive from the Chalice, simply return to your seat.

If you have any challenge coming forward the priest and Chalice Bearer will be very happy to come down to you in the pew.  Simply let the Sidesperson or Greeter know.

What happens after the Church celebration?

We gather for refreshments in the parish hall...just follow the crowd. We hope to see you there to meet other members of the congregation and for us to get to know you better.
