GOD WILL… MOVE ACROSS OUR CITIES!

This is one project in many locations! In 2021 we opened the doors to our newly constructed permanent church building for Bearspaw Campus. By early 2023 we had attendance of up to 1000 people at Bearspaw Campus, almost triple from the previous year. What a joy to see people of all ages laughing, sharing and enjoying community with a cup of coffee in the foyer.

With all God is doing, we are so thankful we responded to His leading and built a permanent facility to be a lighthouse in Northwest Calgary. We also provided needed upgrades across all our campuses in Calgary, and Airdrie.

THE NEED

Permanent church buildings empower us to learn together, grow together, have fun together and serve people in the community. Since 2008, the congregation gathering at our Northwest Campus met in leased facilities that imposed barriers in our time, worship, relationships, and ministries over the course of the week.

For years we prayed for God to provide a permanent facility to empower mission work all week long. With God’s provision we received a gift of land in Bearspaw in 2017 and, as of September 2021, we have completed construction of our Bearspaw Campus! 

We are now gathering on weekends and over the week, through ministry gatherings as well as our Bearspaw Campus Café which is open to the community to come in for a cup and some connection. It is our goal that Bearspaw Campus will be used for many more opportunities as we continue to settle into our new home, building our ministry rhythms and volunteer commitment. The play structure and recreation areas are just some of the other areas that will equip us in our mission as we pursue relationships and community all week long and well into the future.

We are thankful to God for his provision and pray that He will continue to provide through your generosity so all our construction projects will be fully paid by 2024.

I have sweet memories in so many rooms in this building; whether it was in Children’s Ministry seeing a “light bulb” moment for a child, or in the chapel upstairs on an Alpha night, watching someone’s heart open to the gospel. Or in the prayer chapel praying for a friend’s healing from cancer. Or in the green room back stage for our prayer huddle before beginning worship. Was it worth the sacrifice back in 2001, to Give God Room and to build Central Campus? Absolutely! For the results, whether tangible or intangible, it was worth it because we know that nothing is ever wasted in God’s economy.
