Thank you for your generosity in giving. This allows us the opportunity to proclaim the gospel, build a strong and supportive church community and to help those in need.
God tells us in His Word that He loves a cheerful giver, which is why we always want to create opportunities to give of our resources as He leads us. There is zero obligation to give, but rather an open avenue of worship to connect fully with the heart of God.

TWELVE BASKETS MISSION GIVING
Jesus said to His disciples, “Gather up the fragments so nothing is lost. Therefore they gathered 12 baskets…” (John 6: 12-13). Each month we support a mission activity with a basket collection taken in church on the last Sunday of the month. You may also give on line via the details above.
December Mission: COCOA Christmas Appeal
When the earthquake struck Vanuatu just before Christmas in 2024, lives changed in an instant. Buildings, livelihoods, and places of community were shaken to their foundations. And while the initial emergency response has passed, for many families the struggle to rebuild is far from over.
Every act of compassion, every prayer, every dollar given makes a difference. Together, we can remind the people of Vanuatu that they are not forgotten—and that God’s love is steadfast even when the ground beneath us shakes.
Your giving can help restore hope for those who are suffering in Vanuatu and all around the world.
October Mission: Operation Christmas Child
$3000 given to support postage and delivery of over 300 shoeboxes.
Operation Christmas Child is a project of Samaritan’s Purse. It’s a hands-on way for you to demonstrate God’s love to children in need across the world by filling shoeboxes with toys, hygiene items, school supplies, and fun gifts.
We collect the boxes and distribute them in the name of Jesus Christ to children living in vulnerable situations.
The mission of Operation Christmas Child is to provide God’s love in a tangible way to children in need around the world, and together with the local church worldwide, to share the Good News of Jesus Christ.
THE FOOD CUPBOARD
As part of our vision for the future, we’re excited to expand our mission focus to support our local community. Rokeby Neighbourhood House/Centre does incredible work helping families through tough times and we’re pleased to partner with them.
We’ve launched The Food Cupboard – a simple yet powerful way to make a difference. A donation box is in the foyer where you can contribute long-life food items such as canned food, rice, pasta, sauces, and other pantry staples.
These donations are collected and distributed by Rokeby Neighbourhood Centre to families in need.
Let’s come together to share God’s love in practical ways. Every little bit helps!
