Ministries
Some of the activities we support in our community
AWANA
Fridays 6:30pm at IRON RIVER SCHOOL
A time-tested strategy for Child Evangelism and Discipleship, AWANA invites children aged 5-14 to open the Bible, glean its wisdom, and commit its words to memory as a lifelong source of purpose and guidance! Our group meets off-campus at the Iron River School – a 20 minute drive northwest of Bonnyville. The Club runs most Fridays between November and April, but if you are inquiring for the first time, you are encouraged to contact the church office to confirm dates, as some Fridays are canceled for weather, holidays, or to coincide with the school schedule.
Youth Ministry
Every Thursday Night @ 6:30
We have a vibrant and active Youth Group that meets for sports, games, snacks and small group studies. God has blessed our church family with some dynamic and passionate leaders as well. Every Thursday at 6:30 – when school is in session. (We rest during holidays and summer.) Contact the church office if you would like to plug in!
Sunday School and Preschool
During the Sunday service, just before the sermon, children ages 1-12 years old are invited to learn about Jesus in their own way. There is Preschool for the younger ones and Sunday School for the older ones. Thanks to all our amazing volunteers for investing in the Church of tomorrow!
Men’s Ministry
(Various projects)
We have several ongoing small groups, where groups of 4-8 men meet, talk about life and work, and study the Bible for the wisdom we need to become the men we were created to be. Meeting times differ; contact the church office for more info.
We also have several Men’s Breakfasts throughout the year, but they are intermittent, so you’d need to contact the church office to see when the next one will run.
Heart 2 Heart
5010 50 Ave
next to Jagged Edge and the outreach school.
The Heart 2 Heart Clothing Exchange is essentially the ongoing fundraiser that supports our Street Heart Mission. They are happy to receive good-quality second-hand clothing and accessories, the profits of which help the discouraged and homeless of our community. Just by shopping with us, and spreading the word so that others will do likewise, you are helping! But if you would like to volunteer your time keeping the storefront, sorting clothes – or by donating goods – you help even more! Contact: Chris at 780-826-9462
Heart 2 Heart is open Monday through Friday, 10am – 5pm.
Street Heart Mission
Hours throughout the week
At Street Heart Mission we reach out to the homeless and those in need with the love of Jesus.
We run Monday to Sat 10:30 am to 4:30 pm offering soup, sandwich, free clothing and personal hygiene items.
Sunday from 1:30pm to 3pm is our church service followed by a full meal.
We always welcome volunteers to help serve or prepare a meal.
