Worship

You are what you worship. You worship that which you behold. You behold that which you love. At GT, our Sunday worship gatherings are centred around beholding Jesus and learning to fall more in love with God. We worship God not for what we get out of it, but simply for who He is. However, in doing this, we begin to discover the very thing we were created for, to be worshipping image bearers of God.

We do this Sunday mornings through the modes of music and song, the preaching of the Scriptures, prayer, and the Sacraments of the church (Baptism and Communion). Our worship music is expressionate (Charismatic) as well as reflective (Contemplative).

Word

We at GT believe in the absolute authority of the Scriptures and hold them as the standard from which we derive ultimate truth and meaning from. Our preaching is geared towards equipping the Church (body of believers) in what it means to live out their faith in their ordinary, everyday lives. We desire to go deep in our study of the Scriptures and allow it to both “Confront Us”, as well as “Comfort Us”. Our teachings from the Scripture help us better understand what it means to truly follow the Way of Jesus in our cultural moment.

PRAYER

We at GT believe in the power of prayer. We have an incredible prayer team that count it a privilege to be able to spend time with people praying at the end of our services for whatever situation one may be facing. We believe that God, through the Holy Spirit, can do so much to help set free and bring healing to the lives of His people, when we pray together. We at GT intentionally create these spaces in our Sunday services for prayer to be practiced as well as received.

Ongoing Programs:

Biblical Worldview Course for Kids

We are so excited to be relaunching the Biblical Worldview course for kids grades 3-5 in September, this time on Sunday evenings! This program is designed to help kids understand why they can confidently place their trust in God's Word.

We will be using the “Foundation Comparative Worldview Curriculum” which equips kids with the skills they need to biblically navigate challenging cultural issues. The lessons will get to the root of the issues, showing kids how a biblical worldview lines up with reality in a way that no other worldview does.

Registration is now CLOSED for this course.

Midweek Prayer School & Childcare

Childcare will be available for kids grades JK - Grade 5 only (no preschool or nursery offered) each week alongside Midweek Prayer School on Wednesday nights, resuming September 18th.

Kids will enjoy fun activities, games, crafts, and gym time together.

Play Café:

Parents with young children (ages 0-3) are invited to our Play Café hosted at Glad Tidings Church!

Nursery + Preschool rooms will be open for unsupervised play and time connecting with other parents.

 Join us on Wednesdays from 9am-11am and invite your friends too!

At Glad Tidings, we are impacting the world for Christ
through partnering with Pentecostal Assemblies of Canada (PAOC) Global Workers
as well as ministries who serve locally, in Canada, and around the world.

"For Everyone who calls on the name of the LORD will be saved.
But how can they call on him to save them unless they believe in him?
And how can they believe in him if they have never heard about him?
And how can they hear about him unless someone tells them?
And how will anyone go and tell them without being sent?"

​Romans 10:8-18 (NTL)


The People We Partner with

Note from the pastor

Hi there, thanks for checking out LIFT Kids and the family life ministry here at GTBurlington. "Leading and Inspiring Families Together" aka LIFT. We know that parents have the most potential spiritual influence in the lives of their children and because of this, we want to come alongside parents to support and resource them. LIFT is a Family Life Ministry for children 0 - Grade 5. If we haven't met we can't wait to see you and your family out at GT!
