1.

Vacation Bible School; Summer Ministry, usually held second/third week in July to local children ages 4 through 12. A great morning of fun-activities and Gospel teaching. A family barbecue is held on Thursday night and children are invited to the Sunday morning worship service to sing their new songs!

2. Fall Extravaganza; held the second Saturday in September as a way of blessing the neighbourhood. With a carnival atmosphere in our parking lot, there is free food and games and activities for the whole family. From Jumping castles, Dunk tanks to “Cake-Walks,” lots of fun for all!
3. Benevolent Help; like the Good Samaritan, when we are called upon to respond to a need we do our best. By supporting individuals and families in a financial crisis or with practical assistance, we want to be Jesus hands and feet, to show His love and grace! This outreach takes place through phone call requests or in association with families in our Church and community
