Our Vision

Our Purpose

One Table. Many Seats. You Already Belong.

Before the church had stages, it had a table: a place where bread was broken, wine was poured, and people were gathered in the presence of Jesus.

Believers and sinners, outcasts and seekers found they belonged there. The table still teaches us what to choose: the Holy Spirit over hype, presence over performance, people over programs.

So come back to the table where it all began. Here, you can belong before you believe.

FAQs

What time should I arrive?

We gather Sundays at 10:30 AM. Doors open at 9:30, so come early if you'd like coffee and a slower start.

Where exactly?

5567 Chemin de la Côte-Saint-Antoine in NDG, Montréal. The big stone building. Street parking is usually easy on Sunday mornings.

What do people wear?

Whatever you wore yesterday. Jeans, work clothes, whatever's clean. Nobody is checking.

What about my kids?

BUBBLES for babies and toddlers, SPLASH KIDS for Kindergarten to Grade 6, WAVES for teenagers. Check-in is by the entrance, the team is screened and trained, and you get a matching tag for pickup. If you'd rather keep your baby with you, keep your baby with you. Nobody minds the noise.

Will I have to do anything?

No. You won't be asked to stand up, introduce yourself, sing or give money. Sit at the back and watch if that's what you need.

I'm not sure what I believe.

Then you're in the right room. Belonging comes first here. Believing is allowed to take as long as it takes.

Is it in English?

Yes. Montreal gathers in English, and you'll hear French and a dozen other languages over coffee.
