live by the spirit
We are a people shaped by love. God so loved the world that He has given all to call us back to Himself. This life of love is our daily invitation and inheritance forever. Christ has shown us that the world will know we are His disciples by how we love.
We are called to live lives of love in action, both in the church and amongst our neighbours.
Scroll down for recommended practices and resources to more fully love those around you.
LOVE ONE ANOTHER
God is a relational being, a Trinity of Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Among the many implications of this beautiful mystery is that God is Love and love is at the heart of God’s world. The Kingdom of God moves through relationship. God wants us to be involved and that means God is inviting us into a life of love in action.
Here’s how Jesus puts it: “A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another” (John 13:34-35). God has designed the church in such a way that we all have a vital part to play. We have been gifted by God to play a particular role in helping the church grow to maturity.

LOVE OUR NEIGHBOuRS
For those who have received the rich love and tender mercy of God, our natural response is to turn and extend God’s love to others. Maybe it’s taking a risk to share your faith. Consider where God has placed you and ask Him to direct you to ways to serve, to show acts of kindness and love, to meet the needs of those God puts in your path, and to show up for your neighbours.
Ongoing/Seasonal Opportunities
You can get involved with our current church-wide initiatives to help meet the ongoing needs of those in our neighbourhoods and across the city.
