Our MessageIt is our duty as Christians to look after our brothers and sisters who are lost or in need.
"If there is a poor man among you, one of your brothers, in any of the towns of the land which the Lord your God is giving you, you shall not harden your heart, nor close your hand to your poor brother; but you shall freely open your hand to him, and generously lend him sufficient for his need in whatever he lacks." - Deuteronomy 15:7 We are involved in both our local and global communities and we strive to affect change and spread the Word of God in everything we do. Whether it is addictions, poverty, counseling or hunger, our church is always trying to find ways of making a difference. Our ultimate goals are to improve the quality of life of people in need and to help people find salvation and spiritually peace. "Give to him who asks of you, and do not turn away from him who wants to borrow from you"
- Matthew 5:42 |

Prenatal Classes
Abigail Larson, licensed midwife and longtime church member, had a dream of making prenatal classes available to our community and beyond without any cost so new families would have the best opportunities to have healthy children that we can offer. In 2017 we held our first free prenatal class and since then we've hosted more than 100 couples as they prepare to enter into one of the greatest, and scariest, adventures. Now these classes happen monthly, providing education, resources, community and support for anyone who needs it. If you or someone you know is in need of these classes please call our number and we can put you in touch with Abby and our next available class. Union Gospel Located at 320 Princess Street in Winnipeg, Union Gospel Mission is an inner city shelter for those who have no food or clothing, a centre where men and women can get help with addictions and a place for evangelism about the Word of God. Various members of our church donate their time and help with general cleanup, kitchen work and organize donated materials in their warehouses. Athletes in Action "Athletes In Action is committed to using the language of sport to communicate the most powerful message of all: God’s passionate love for his children as communicated through his Son, Jesus Christ." We are actively sponsoring our own Deborah Yeboah as she engages in missional work in Edmonton and Winnipeg. She will be coaching, leading sport camps and various other outreach events through her love of basketball and the talents God has given her. Good Friday Every year as part of a joint Good Friday service we partner with the churches involved to support a local mission in Winnipeg. Past organization we have donated to include: Bruce Oake Recovery Center, Dignity House, and Shiloam Mission. |
Child Sponsorship
Through International Child Care Ministries, our church is currently sponsoring children in Ghana, Ecuador and Burundi. Build A Well In collaboration with many generous souls, our church was involved in the construction of a well for a community in Dedeiman, Ghana. We continue to search out other impoverished communities in need of basic drinking water. Churches Responding to the TRC The Truth and Reconciliation Commission has published a report from the survivors of residential schools and have issued 94 calls to action, some to churches specifically. We are one of several churches in the greater St. James area involved in providing reconciliation through educating our congregations and community. To begin we are involved in planning and facilitating four information sessions in Spring 2016. We are also committed to creating a welcoming place for all people and a church where all people are equal under God, deserving of love and dignity and the freedom to live out their culture in service of Him. Grace Church, Ghana We regularly send school supplies, clothing and children's material to Grace Church in Ghana as-well-as partner with ICCM to financially support Voight School. |
