The Open Door!

Hello Neighbour!  Christ Community Church is setting aside Thursday nights as a community night and you are welcome to join us!  These evenings have an open and loose structure and are open to any person who wishes to come.

Christ Community Church is a community of people learning to live, love and serve in the Jesus Way.  With these community nights, we seek to love and serve our community by providing a place for people to connect, to learn and grow, to encourage each other, tell stories, share, play and create.  You are welcome to be a part of this community, even if you have no experience or interest in the Christian faith. 

Very simply, you are invited!  Bring your ideas and your questions, your gifts and abilities, and come join us as we begin sharing in community together.

“Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened.” ~Jesus (Matthew 7:7-8 NIV)

What can I expect on each of these evenings?

Conversation nights feature open and flexible conversations on topics of care, concern or interest.  These may include: Parenting and family dynamics, Service, Justice, Politics, Money and finances.   Pastor Mike will be prepared on each of these evening to share or reflect on living, loving and serving in the Jesus Way.  But if you have additional questions or concerns, please bring them with you, and we will see what we can do. 

Game nights are opportunities for intergenerational play!  Bring a game and some food or drink to share and come join us!  Cards, board games, group games….  Food and snacks and refreshments.  If you want to come a little earlier (after 6pm) and order Pizza, we can do that too!  Just drop us a note!

Art nights are hosted by a creator from our church or the community willing to share their gift.  There will be some cost for supplies, so please plan on that.  ($5 unless otherwise indicated)  We will have a few kid-specific crafts available too.  If you’d like to share your gift in this way, and help lead one of these nights, please let us know and we will pencil you in for one of our evenings!

Special conversation or movie nights.  Pastor Mike is a massive movie buff!  Maybe you are, too!  Let’s watch a movie together and discuss it.  (Of COURSE there will be popcorn!)  Or if there is interest in having a special presentation on a topic of interest, we are willing to line that up as well.

If you have any questions please contact:
