Connecting
Connecting
Grace is a friendly church – very friendly! But there are steps you can take to really feel a part of things. These are some ways to connect with the church and build connections with others here.
Attend
With all that’s going on at Grace, Sunday morning worship services are still at the heart of how we gather. Make Sunday morning a priority. There you’ll find people like you who are looking for others with whom they can grow. And when you come, fill out a welcome card. It gives us a way to be in touch and get to know you better.
Connect
On Sunday morning we hear from God and get to know him better. But during the week we gather in life groups where we can listen to one another and get to know each other better. It’s easy to get lost in a crowd but small groups are a place where everyone knows your name and friendships are forged.
Grow
Most of us face times in our lives when we become stuck, and we can’t quite figure out why. Our lives aren’t progressing the way we’d hoped. There’s a restlessness where we thought we’d experience peace. Even our connection to God, if we have one, can feel a little empty. The Unstuck Life is designed as both a diagnostic tool as well as a repair kit. It’s written to help you see where you’re stuck and give solutions from the Bible to get unstuck.
Volunteer
Getting to know people is usually a lot easier when you’re doing something together. Volunteering connects you with other people that share the same interests and passions that you have. We offer a wide variety of areas where you can serve.
Join
Commitment does something for a relationship. When a man and a woman say, “I do,” it changes things. And in the same way, when a person moves from a guest to a member, it sends a message to those around them that they’re not just passing through but can be counted on. In any church, membership is a vital part of developing healthy long-term relationships. The process isn’t difficult.
GRACE KIDS
GRACE KIDS
At Grace Kids we value the importance of discipleship in a child’s life from birth on up and have a dedicated team of volunteers running our Sunday program. We place an importance in the belief that discipleship begins at home, and as a ministry we are ready to help you excel as a family in your journey of discipleship.
Join us on Sunday!
Grace Tots
Age group: 0 to 3 years old
Service Times: 9AM & 11AM
We’re ready to welcome your little one to receive age-appropriate Bible lessons and hands-on activities. At Grace Tots, when you leave your children with us, they won’t merely walk into a room full of toys, but a community that is ready to provide a sense of belonging, discipleship, and care.
Jr. Grace Kids
Age Group: Preschool to Grade 1
Service Times: 9AM
Join us downstairs upon dismissal from the auditorium before the sermon. Parents can check-in and drop off their children with confidence, knowing that our teachers are ready to welcome your child and guide them through the Gospel Project Bible curriculum. Lessons are tailored for young learners and are fun, interactive, and practical.
Grace Kids
Age Group: Preschool to Grade 6
Service Times: 11AM
We gather downstairs every Sunday ready to embark on a journey of discipleship as a big group and then in smaller classrooms divided by age. We explain the Bible lessons in a variety of ways including hands-on activities, interactive discussion, and lots of investigation! To support your discipleship in the home, we work hard to find creative ways to help you discover what your children are learning and complete fun family tasks at home.
Buddy Program
Are you a family with a child that has a special need? Whether it’s physical, intellectual, or just anxiety in new settings, we strive to be sensitive to all abilities. Through our Buddy program, we try to offer a more inclusive children’s ministry experience. Our staff and volunteers receive ongoing training to meet the diverse needs of our kid community. On Sunday mornings, our Buddies are ready to jump in and assist children needing extra support, redirection, or a friend to encourage them. We follow professionally recognized strategies for special needs ministry but highly encourage parent input in better supporting children.
Safety Matters
All of our volunteers have completed Safe Church Training and submitted a Vulnerable Sector Check.
For your child’s safety, we ask that parents accompany their children to check in and pick them up promptly following the end of the service.

Sundays
Join us on Sunday at 11 am for a time of connection, relationship building, and spiritual formation. Every week we gather to discuss and dissect the Word of God and discover truths to help equip our next-gen students for everyday life. Meet in the “garage” (located next to the church house) to discuss life, faith, and growing as a follower of Jesus.
Hangouts
Our students also gather on Fridays or Saturdays for student hangouts. This is a time when students can enjoy the opportunity to meet and spend time with other teens through planned activities and outings.

Life GROUPS
We have many meeting times and locations throughout the week where people gather in person and virtually to share their lives with one another, learn from the Bible, and serve the community. Contact the church office to find a group that fits you.
PRAYER MEETING
We believe prayer is essential to all that we do. We distribute a weekly prayer guide and have several online prayer groups meeting on Wednesday evenings from 7:30 – 8:30 pm. If you are interested in joining one of these groups, please contact the church office to find a group that fits you.
MEN’S Morning Prayer
Every Wednesday morning, men gather before work to start the day in prayer. It’s a hybrid gathering with some joining online, but those in person have coffee and muffins followed by a reflection on God’s Word and a time in prayer.

Retirees Luncheon - "LIFE AFTER FIFTY-FIVE" (L.A.F.F.)
We love our seniors and we’re convinced that there is life after fifty-five! And so we host a luncheon we call L.A.F.F. where we offer encouragement, singing, laughter and food. The program begins in the worship centre at 11:00 a.m. with the group participating in some hymn singing, a few jokes, poems or stories, followed by an uplifting and challenging Bible message from a variety of speakers. A hot lunch is served downstairs at 12:00 noon. We celebrate birthdays each month.
Retirees of all ages are welcome to come and enjoy a good time of fellowship, laughter and the opportunity to make new friends. If you’re interested, contact the church for more information: Email lynnk@gracebc.ca or call 905-737-4737.
When? 4th Thursday of every month from 11 am to 1 pm.
