Sharing God's Love

Mission & Outreach

We are a missional people — called by God to know His love and to share that love with others. Our mission field is local — Lethbridge — and global.

Sharing God’s Love

We share God’s love in Word, through evangelism — introducing people to Jesus.   We also share God’s love in action — caring for the spiritual, physical, social, and emotional needs of people and God’s creation.

Find out what we do and how you can be involved LOCALLY, REGIONALLY, and GLOBALLY.
