Our Mission

To be a biblically-functioning community leading people to become fully-devoted followers of Jesus Christ.

This will always be our mission, based on the words of Jesus in the Great Commission (Matthew 28:18-20) and the Great Commandment (Matthew 22:36-40).


Vision

At The Meeting Place, we FOLLOW Jesus and SHARE His story, GATHER in our place and yours, SERVE where needed and WORSHIP Him in all we do.


Our Beliefs

Confession Of Faith

We are part of the family of churches called the Canadian Conference of Mennonite Brethren Churches. To find out more about the Canadian Conference of Mennonite Brethren Churches, click here. Our faith community is made up of people from lots of different backgrounds, many of whom haven’t had much experience with church. We draw strength from our deep connection with the Mennonite Brethren heritage.
