When & where...

Our church has services on Sunday mornings, beginning at 10:00am.  We open our worship service with singing and praise, followed by a time of prayer and teaching before we close.

Our address is 85 Bedford Street, in beautiful Westport, Ontario. 

 COVID-19 REQUIRED Pre-Registration?...

To make sure we can follow COVID-19 regulations and social distancing we have set up an Eventbrite page for the church. This allows us to keep track of how many people are planning to attend and keep to the 30% capacity maximum. You can get your free virtual tickets for Sunday mornings service as well as any other events that are happening at the church such as Prayer and Worship Evenings and special events. The tickets for Sunday mornings are separated into two options; Sanctuary Worship and Neighbourhood Worship for Young Families. A new screen location, sound system, and live feed from the sanctuary allow the families with young children to worship together in the basement with plenty of room to social distance. You pick the tickets that are right for you and you will receive a confirmation email. On Sunday mornings you will receive an email with a link to an online health screening form for you and your family to complete before attending service. 

What do I Do when I get there?...

Things are looking a bit different right now but we are making the best of it. Please enter the main front doors and someone will be there to greet you.  The greeter will confirm you are included in the attendee count and have passed the health screening. The sanctuary is upstairs and you can sit anywhere without pink tape on the pew seats. We have created seating pods that are separated by 6' for your safety. Downstairs there are family zones, each with there own craft table and supplies, toy bins, and play area. 

What do I wear?...

Face masks are required inside the church. Hand sanitizer and face masks are available at the entrance of the church.

As for clothing... all we ask is that you wear clothes... other than that, just be comfortable!  We're just as happy to have you in jeans and sandals as in business casual.  We want you to feel at home.

What is the music like?...

We love praising God with music!  Our worship team leads the singing and all the words to the songs are projected at the front of the church so everyone can follow along.  We hope you will feel freedom to praise God the way you feel in your heart.  Most of the songs we sing are contemporary, with a mix of old hymns when the message or occasion calls for it.  Music is accompanied by various instruments, including drums and guitars, to the glory of God! 
Praise him with trumpet sound; praise him with lute and harp!  Praise him with tambourine and dance; praise him with strings and pipe!  Praise him with sounding cymbals; praise him with loud clashing cymbals!  Let everything that has breath praise the Lord! Praise the Lord! Psalm 150:3-6

wHAT ABOUT KIDS?

We are blessed to have many families in our church.  Unfortunately, all children's programming is on hold due to COVID-19 but as mentioned above, we have the Neighbourhood Worship area in the basement for families with young children.

Hopefully we will be able to return to regular Sunday School classes in the near future. Some Sundays when the children are dismissed for their Sunday School classes, half the population that morning walks (or runs, or skips) downstairs.  Praise God for the blessing of children!  We also have an amazing group of teens and pre-teens, who worship and often share their gifts in our services.  Find out more on our CHILDREN'S and YOUTH Ministries pages.

Giving...

Every week there is time in our service for people to give financially.  If you want to know more about where this money goes, check out our GIVING page.  While this is on one hand something we are called to do in scripture, it’s also a way for us to say “We love our church & community and want to support it!”  However, you should feel zero pressure to give as a guest.

where do I find out more about the church?...

Have a look at the WHO WE ARE page for details about what our church believes and who our leadership team is.  The MINISTRIES section of the website will introduce you to the groups we have both on Sundays and throughout the week.  On the RESOURCES page, you will be able to browse our church library collection, sign up for our church email newsletter, and give financially to the work of our church.
