If you want to know a little about who we are and where we began, this is the place to be! I will share a bit about when we began, and where we are now.

From   the   beginning

Where   we   are   now

Our church began in October of 2012, when at our Chilliwack bible conference me and my wife made the decision to launch into the work of God. We were launched from that conference body and shortly after began a work here in Edmonton, Alberta. In early 2013, we started by holding bible studies in our home in bonnie doon. We eventually found a small community hall where we started holding regular services. Over time we have moved 4-5 times to different halls and locations. We have now found a home on the west end of Edmonton in March of 2017.  

We are part of Christian Fellowship Ministries, that was starting by Wayman and Nelda Mitchell. In 1970 Wayman and Nelda Mitchell moved to Prescott to take over a small, struggling congregation. Shortly after arriving, God saved a number of young hippies who were very different than anyone in the church. But as they were welcomed, God began to pour out His Spirit on the congregation.  As Pastor Mitchell sought to reach young people, they saw the possibilities of the “coffee-house” concert ministry. At the first concert they ever tried as an evangelistic tool, more than 200 young people attended, with many saved. Out of this a regular concert ministry was birthed. 2 nights a week, bands played, testimonies of salvation were given and the Gospel was preached, with many being saved each night.

From the beginning, Pastor Mitchell understood that  concert ministry was to be a training ground of ministry development; It was run by young people who were committed to Jesus and His church.  From the beginning, people who had been radically converted sought to share with others what God had done in them. Personal evangelism began to be one of the basic foundations of the church.  Then came impact teams: Groups of people that would travel to other nearby cities to help people there experience what God was doing here. Over time, God began to reveal His plan of discipleship: Training young couples for ministry within a local church.  In 1973 the first couple was launched directly into the ministry – and God blessed them!  Churches then began to be planted throughout the Southwestern United States, and then further across America as converts prayed for the Gospel to be preached in their hometowns.
In 1978 the first couple was planted into another nation – Australia; and we discovered the Gospel worked there, just like it did here.  After that, churches were planted in Mexico, Holland and Germany then as we came to understand God’s global mission more and more, churches began to be planted throughout the world. To date, there are over 2500 churches in 44 US states, and 117 nations of the world.

We are now in a permanent location on the west end of Edmonton where we are doing what God has called us to do. 
We have a wonderful little congregation and are growing rapidly! 
It is exciting to see what God is doing in our city and nations in the lives of people!
We are touching lives one by one, making a practical difference in our City, Nation and World.
