The main entrance to the church is located on Carey Road and has a handicapped ramp. The front doors lead into a good sized vestibule with access to the upper and lower areas. Off the vestibule are the minister's and secretary's offices. The Upper Room is used for Prayer Time before services and council meetings. The sanctuary can seat approximately 200+ persons. The cross is lit by coloured windows on each side. There is a good sound system and the pews have cushioned seats. The lower level has the Sunday School room, large hall and kitchen areas. There are three bathrooms off the hall with one equipped for handicapped persons. The bright and sunny kitchen has two sinks and plenty of food preparation area. Food can be served though a pass-through area. The kitchen is equipped with two refrigerators and stoves. There is a microwave oven as well. There is access from the kitchen directly to the outside parking area at the rear of the church for ease of bringing in supplies.

Quick Facts
Who do I contact with questions?
You can contact Jane in our office or the Rev. Michael Brown. They are great to talk to and always return calls! Use the contact info above to reach either of them.
What music is played during services?
Lots of hymns from Voices United, with accompaniment by our excellent organist, along with our choir. We sometime have special guests playing!
What's heavenly about our church?
It sounds so cliche, but the people here are a wonderful, close knit community, who care about and support each other on our individual spiritual journeys. Join us!
How do people dress for service?
Some a little dressy, most casual. We have been known to show up in jeans for our Sunday School round up! Not to be missed!
What happens after the service?
As our hall is very popular with facility user groups, coffee, tea and nibbles are in the lower hall on Sundays that are available. It's a great opportunity to catch up with friends.
