Tailoring all we do towards equipping our fully devoted family to effectively reach their communities personally, practically and in partnership.

PROVIDING OPPORTUNITIES TO BE FOUND IN COMMUNITY

outreach focused.

Our community was planted with the desire to be above all else: outreach-focused.

We believe that our presence in a local community is supposed to look like more than a gathering on a Sunday. Driven by the question: would the local community even notice if we weren’t here tomorrow, we desire to increasingly become a people who are going on a Monday - Saturday, making a real difference wherever we find ourselves.

Below is a summary of some initiatives that we’re engaged in for the glory of God and the good of our community. Will you join us?

Serve The City Saturdays
‘Serve The City Saturdays’ is an outreach-focused initiative of our community.

Our goal is to gather quarterly as a community to serve our city. Whether it be mowing lawns, painting fences or other yard work, these are no-strings-attached acts of practical service. While work is getting done outside, connection is also happening inside as our team of connectors takes the time to hear people's stories and offer support or a listening ear.

Through local community group partnerships, neighbourhood letterbox drops and school chaplain relationships, we’re able to identify those who need support.

If you know someone who could use a hand or want to get involved, contact us below.
The Joy Initiative
‘The Joy Initiative’ is a community-focused event taking place annually at Christmas.

Christmas is beautiful - but we know it’s not easy for everyone. Some of our ‘neighbours’ are doing it tough and may not have food on the table or gifts to give. As a church family, our goal each year is to support a collective of local families.

Here’s how it works:
- Community nominations: local families in need are nominated to receive support
- Family-to-family: each nominated family is “paired” with an Outlook family who buys age-appropriate gifts for their kids
- Breakfast hampers: our whole church community contributes to food hampers - think simple breakfast items for Christmas morning (cereal, long-life milk, pancake mix, spreads, juice, coffee/tea, treats)
- Collection day: just before Christmas, nominated families come to a hosted collection day where they receive their gifts and hamper with dignity and care.
