We are an inter-denominational and a non-denominational church.  This may sound confusing but essentially means that we are: 

Inter-denominational because our membership is made up of people who come from many denominations.  We have a statement of faith which focuses on the basic beliefs of Christianity as taught in the Scriptures, a statement all members agree with.  Although members may have different understandings of some “doctrines” as taught by various denominations, each believer in this church accepts and respects those who have a slightly different understanding of some teachings.  Much like a family, we may have differences but we are still all members of Christ’s body here on earth – the Church universal.  And we love and honour each other, respecting their understandings and allowing God to teach us to build unity around diversity.

Non-denominational because we are not a denomination.  We are an independent body of believers without direct ties to any denomination.  Though we are independent, we still associate and work together with various denominational groups and, more importantly, still seek a mutual accountability with other believers and churches.  We are a member of the Williams Lake Ministerial. 

It is our goal to be an evangelical church body who can truly accept, respect, and worship with anyone who has accepted Jesus as Saviour.  We strive to unite, not divide.

Our style of worship is not formalized but more free-flowing.  We use a mixture of hymns, choruses, and contemporary songs.  We believe that, in addtion to giving God glory and honour, praise and worship is what prepares us to meet with God and makes us ready to allow God to touch us where we most need to be touched and changed. 

Prayer is an important part of  worship and we encourage people to share what God has been doing in their lives during the past week, sharing items of thanksgiving and items of need.   We believe every person has the privilege of coming to God in prayer; to bring praise and thanksgiving to him and to lay before the throne of grace the burdens they are carrying – whether it be a burden they themselves struggle under or a burden they know others are struggling under - and so each member is encouraged to develop a prayer list for personal devotional prayer. 

The Scriptures are important to us as we gather for worship.  The Word of God is explained and we are exhorted to live a life worthy of the calling we have received – redeemed children of the Most High God who loves us beyond our understanding. 

Our Sunday services include a time of fellowship after the service.  Coffee and tea are available as we also take time to fellowship together and encourage and build up each other spiritually.  Once a month we hold a potluck lunch to enhance our fellowship time.  There is no obligation to participate in the potluck time, nor is there an obligation to bring anything before you can participate – we love to share what we have so that we can fellowship!
