Welcome to the AbbeyChurch where all are welcomed at Jesus' table. 

Please do feel free to join us any Sunday and participate as you feel comfortable.

We are an intergeneratonal worshipping community of seekers, saints and sinners who seek to follow Jesus as we are led by God's Spirit into lives of prayer, presence (with God, each other - and in our neighbourhoods) and simplicity.

We are a ministry of the Emmaus Community, which is a neo-monastic intentional community of ordinary people who commit ourselves to following Jesus in ways akin to the monastic life. Not all AbbeyChurch folks are part of Emmaus - you're welcome to be a part of AbbeyChurch regardless of connection to Emmaus!

As a witness to unity and diversity, we are an ecumenical shared ministry of The United Church of Canada and The Anglican Church of Canada. We intentionally draw on the 'jewels' of these traditions, as well as the wider church.
