Local Community Outreach
Our facilities are used by a variety of organizations including support groups, music performance and exercise groups.
We are also engaged with the community in a number of other ways:
Advent and Lenten Offerings: Annually, for each season, a special offering is collected to support a local not-for-profit group.
Christmas Hampers: Hampers of food delivered to families through the Salvation Army Program in time for Christmas dinner.
Crystal Springs Manor: Crystal Springs Manor was founded as a joint project with St. Thomas’ Anglican Church and St. Andrew’s By-The-lake United Church to provide affordable retirement housing in our local community. The Board of Directors consists of two members from each congregation as well as a member from the local business community, each elected to a rotating three-year term. The ministers from each congregation are ‘ex officio’ members of the Board.
Partners In Mission Food Bank: Items and donations are collected throughout the year and given to the Food Bank on a monthly basis (4th week of the month).
