Beginnings

Since the start of our faith community in 1992, we have been involved in four neighbourhoods in the Lower Mainland area around Vancouver, BC.

We began by engaging in the Edmonds area of Burnaby with a 1912 church building that had closed a few years previous.

We multiplied into two congregations with the addition of a congregation in the  Robson Park neighbourhood in Surrey in 1996.

By 2000 we became engaged in two other communities: Willoughby in Langley and Forest Grove in north Burnaby. We are currently evaluating our future in Willoughby.

Neighbours are very important to us. They are the people in the place where we live, work, play, rest and worship. They are the people we experience life with in the place we call “home.”

We want to network people together who want to be involved in helping make the world a better place, starting with our own community.

We have expanded on the neighbourhood theme in two ways: one was to begin to help plant a church in Sauk, Albania. The second was to initiate a missional training network called “Forge Canada” that grew out of a leadership intern program and that is currently connected with hundreds of church leaders across North America.
