We can’t wait to meet you!

Whether you’re just starting to explore faith, seeking authentic community, or looking for a place to connect in Chilliwack, you are so welcome here.

We know stepping into a new place can be daunting,

so here’s what you can expect on your first visit…

  • First of all… coffee is on us (we know 8:45am is early for a weekend!)

    For about an hour, we come together for an engaging in-service experience. Live music and a relevant, hope-filled message -it probably won’t feel like ‘church’ as you’d expect it.

    You’ll be encouraged as you learn about God’s amazing plan for humanity and what it looks like to live a life marked by love. Feel free to check out a service online before you come!

  • You’ll be greeted with a warm welcome from our team.

    Find a volunteer in a mint green shirt, or visit our Info Desk - we would love to answer all your questions, help you get connected, and even give you a gift just for saying ‘hi’!

  • Wear whatever makes you comfortable, seriously!

    You don't need to get dressed up to come to church (but you're more than welcome to, if that's your thing!)

  • Like home! You don’t have to believe to belong here. There’s more than enough room for your doubts and curiosity - we’d just love to meet you! 

    After the service, we have spaces designed intentionally for connection.

    And if you want to fly under the radar, you're more than welcome to zip in and out of our building 'undetected' too!

  • We’re happy you asked -check out our KiDS and Youth pages.

God’s love is an open door for anyone.

No matter where you come from, what your past looks like, or who you are—you belong here and we hope you feel right at home.

  • "Walking into church was overwhelmingly welcoming.  As I made my way into the auditorium, the music started playing and I thought to myself, “Woah! It’s kinda bumpin in here!” I just sat there, taking it all in... Hearing Mike speak was when I met God for real, for the first time."

  • "I’ve never been to a church before and I came in alone on my first Sunday, and it was like the words in the sermon were aimed at me.

    I was more than moved, more than intrigued, I knew with no shadow of a doubt that this is the exact place I need to be."

  • "I’m not a super early morning person, but from the first weekend we attended, we started driving in from Vancouver for church every Sunday.

    Over this last year, God has spoken to me through this church, over and over again... Messages about forgiveness, bitterness and how broken people break people."
