Church at the Mission
Church at the Mission (CATM)

Church at the Mission is a community of welcome. It’s a place where people come to worship God, find strength for the daily journey and learn to live as a spiritual family in the city. It’s a community where people who are questioning the meaning and purpose of life find compassion, understanding and friendship, guidance and gentle pastoral care. It’s a place where the gospel of Jesus Christ is believed, lived and celebrated, and where we grow together as a community on a mission, Christ’s mission to love the world, to seek and save those who are lost, and to enfold humanity into the love of God in Christ.

We are committed to being a church where the beauty of the Lord Jesus Christ is always in evidence.

When you visit Church at the Mission you’ll find vibrant worship and an opportunity for spiritual renewal. You’ll find supportive pastoral care and a casual, accepting and loving environment. You’ll find opportunities to grow, to receive, to be equipped and to give back.

The Worship Experience

Worship is a big deal at Church at the Mission. The Sunday worship service includes energetic and passionate worship-in-song led by a great contemporary band, and relevant and challenging  Biblically-based messages from a team of passionate speakers. We also make time for quiet so you can approach God at your own speed and in your own style.

Children and youth are central to the life of the church. Sunday School is provided for children 5-12, and child care is provided for children under 5.

We believe that God changes us from the inside out, and that our goal is to be more like Jesus Christ in attitude, in love and in growing to care about what God cares about.  We encourage people to come as they are, leaving masks behind.

We don’t have a dress code other than this: Come as you are!

So, to put it briefly, life at Church at the Mission includes:

  • Programs for children, youth, women and men
  • Worship, spiritual care, support and leadership development
  • Worship services on Sundays at 3 p.m.
  • Prison visitation
  • Addiction recovery support and  prison outreach
  • Bible studies
  • Home Gatherings
