We are in a moment in time when the stress of our culture is almost palpable, the fragmentations and divisions readily apparent. Relationships are strained on many fronts - it's easy to diagnose that there's a widespread lack of peace all around us. And yet, many have discovered a source of peace that persists in every circumstance, overcomes every anxiety and assuages every fear. Join us today as Pastor Jeremy shows us how we can receive this peace, and how we can share it with a culture desperately in need of it.

We're so glad to have you join us this Remembrance Day week as we honour those who have bravely served our country, fought for freedom, and stood against injustice, and then continue in our sermons series "Character Over Image" as Pastor Steve encourages us with what it means to be Pure in Heart.

When I say push, you say…pull. Give? Take! Debit? Credit! We live in a highly transactional society where every action has a reaction. But what happens when you step outside that paradigm and function differently? As Pastor Holly dives deeper into the Beatitudes this week in our Character Over Image series, we’ll see that’s what Jesus was proposing in the Beatitudes, a whole new way of living life!

We've all known people who held positions they weren't living up to: just think of the last sales person who seemed more interested in talking with their co-worker than helping you with your purchase...or the customer service representative you spoke to on the phone who fell far short of offering satisfactory customer service! In this message, Pastor Rick unpacks what it means to be "positionally righteous" before God and what that means for us functionally, as we continue in week 4 of our Beatitudes series, "Character Over Image"

Veranda or porch? Parcel or package? Sofa, couch or chesterfield? Words come and go in popularity and usage varies by region, but when was the last time you heard someone talk about meekness? It isn’t a word our society uses very much, in fact, it’s not a character quality that seems very desirable to aspire to – no one tells their kids to “Go out there and be…meek”, but meekness might be a highly underrated quality as we'll see as Pastor Jeremy continues our series, "Character Over Image".

God blesses those who mourn. Join us today as Pastor Steve continues our journey through the Beatitudes in Matthew 5 in this series, Character Over Image. So great to have you joining us today!

Have you ever modified your behaviour, edited your words or shaped your image based on who was around and how you wanted to be viewed or liked? We all have! We’ve all portrayed images of ourselves to others that, if we’re honest, we hope they’ll like and that they’ll approve of – we call it "putting our best foot forward"...but when have we gone too far? We kick off this new series by recognizing that in an image conscious culture, we are called to be character conscious christians. We’re called to pursue CHARACTER OVER IMAGE.

Pastor Rick wraps up our journey through Philemon, bringing our series to a close by challenging us to consider an often overlooked aspect of Authentic Christianity.
