Our fall small groups are launching in September, and we’re excited to see people connect, grow, and walk in faith together. Whether you’re new or have been part of a group before, small groups are a great way to build community and go deeper in your walk with Christ. We’re currently looking for more hosts and group leaders to help create welcoming spaces for others. If you have a heart for hospitality or discipleship, even if you've never led before, we’d love to hear from you! Contact our Small Group Coordinator, Leanne Maclean, at lmaclean680@gmail.com to start the conversation or ask any questions you may have. Let’s grow together this fall!


Volunteers needed for water testing

Do you have availability during the day on Fridays (even during lunch hour!) to help with testing and treating the water at the church from time to time? We are looking to add another two volunteers to the role. The church will cover the cost of training (online course). If you’re interested or have questions please contact info@gracecommunity.ca.

Social, Community and Outreach Events

Mercy Ships is a Christian organization that provides free, life-changing surgeries and medical care to people in need, bringing hope and healing in the name of Jesus. We invite you to join us in supporting Mair and Malcolm through prayer as they step into this calling; that God would work powerfully in and through their lives as they serve. If you'd like to follow their journey, you can sign up for Mair & Malcolm’s updates and stay connected with how God is at work around the world: 👉 Sign up for updates here. Let’s continue to lift them up as a church family and celebrate this amazing step of faith!

The Gospel Coalition Women’s Conference

November 13 - 15 (Thursday night to Saturday afternoon) in Oakville

It’s the question we ask when crisis hits home. But what does it really mean to find God in a world that feels so broken? At our 2025 conference for women, you’ll find deep answers to your restless search. You will hear God speak through the Book of Habakkuk and find wisdom from experienced breakout speakers who will equip you to know and follow God practically. Our hope is that all who attend will be encouraged by the Word, equipped for life and ministry, and engaged in worship and fellowship with women from all over Canada.
