We are a community characterized by the person and life of Jesus

Our heart as a church is founded on our belief in Jesus and who He is.

We believe that it is through Jesus that we discover the beauty of love and life.

Jesus isn’t an aloof deity set apart from humankind, rather He came to earth to welcome us into a relationship with Him. It wasn’t an obligation, but a natural overflow of who He is: LOVE.

It is incomprehensible in our human experience, but this radical love is made readily available to all today. We wish to be a community that carries that same mentality. To be one that takes the love, grace, and truth exhibited in the life, teachings, and person of Jesus and shares it in all we do.

We want to keep it simple and live out the statement: You Are Welcome Here

Our priorities:

  • Jesus

    We keep it simple. It’s all about who He is and what He did. He is our message.

  • People

    We create space at the table.
    Every Story matters. You are welcome here.

  • Character

    We make each other better. It is more about who we are than what we do. Character over competence.

  • Generosity

    We take the long way home. We choose to stretch beyond our comfort zone. Inconvenience is our privilege.

  • Awareness

    We read the room. We value every opportunity to listen and learn. This is our first step to action.

  • Fun

    We drive with the top down. With Jesus at our centre, joy is our promise. We cannot help but enjoy the journey.

  • Focused

    We do more by doing less. Creativity happens in constraint.

Our Leadership Team

Board of Directors

The Board of Directors governs with an emphasis on (a) biblically-based integrity and truthfulness in all methods and practices, (b) visionary leadership rather than administrative detail, (c) clear distinction of Board and Lead Pastors roles, (d) collective rather than individual decisions, (e) future rather than past or present focus, and (f) pro-activity rather than reactivity.

Accordingly, the Board is accountable to Jesus Christ, who is the Head of the Church, and to City Collective Church. The Board recognizes the affirmations of the ECC.


City Collective Church is part of the Evangelical Covenant Church of Canada
