We’re a relaxed, friendly group gathering on Sunday mornings to connect, worship, and explore what it means to live with hope and kindness. Expect a blend of music (sometimes a band, sometimes just piano, guitar or choir), moments for silence and reflection, and opportunities to join in as you feel comfortable. Singing is a big part of our life together — but there’s never any pressure to participate! Screens in both locations help follow along, and our worship leaders guide everyone through the flow of each service.
Our Spaces:
The Heritage Church (IOCO Road):
A beautiful, historic chapel with stained glass, wooden pews, and a real bell in the steeple. The space is cozy and full of character, and sometimes fills up quickly! There’s a welcoming hall for refreshments and an outdoor play area for children. We gather here for special services and events, but NOT regularly on Sunday.
The Springs:
Our main worship site is a bright, versatile space with flexible seating. Sometimes we set up café-style for crafts or meals, and often enjoy a larger group of musicians. The Springs is home for most of our gatherings and is well suited for luncheons, meetings, and group activities, and is fully accessible with an elevator.
When and How Can I Join?
Absolutely! Come any Sunday at the Springs and check our website info for special Ioco Site services.
You can also participate online with our YouTube live stream, where a host is available to answer questions or take prayer requests in the chat.
Belonging and Inclusion:
Everyone is welcome here, no matter how you identify, who you love, or where you’re at on your journey. Bring your full self — you are embraced, always.
Kids at Inlet:
Children and families are always welcome. We don’t offer a separate kids’ program, but there’s always a craft and colouring table, and the joyful noise of kids is part of our community life.
Parking:
The Springs: Free street parking on Elgin and Queens, plus a Sunday parkade just off Spring Street. For weekday events, use marked "Church" spaces on the second level.
IOCO Road: There’s a church parking lot and plenty of additional street parking nearby.
Accessibility:
The Springs is fully accessible (ramps, elevator, accessible washrooms). The heritage church has a ramp and stair lift, but there are a few steps into the sanctuary, so full accessibility is limited there.
What Should I Wear or Bring?
Come as you are — dress up or keep it casual, whatever’s comfortable. People wear everything from jeans to soccer gear to suits. Just bring yourself!
Giving:
There’s a wooden offering box, and various ways to give online — but giving is never required or expected...although gratefully received! Respond as you feel led, with your time, energy, or support. We don’t pass the plate except on some special occasions like Christmas and Easter.
How Long Are Services?
Typically about one hour, followed by coffee, tea, and treats — a great chance to meet people and ask questions. Communion is offered once a month and everyone (including children) is welcome at the table.
Want to Get Connected?
Stay for conversation after worship, fill out a visitor card, or introduce yourself to a leader or the minister (you’re welcome to arrange a chat anytime). Find more information on our “About” page and sign up for weekly updates at the bottom of this website.
We’re glad you’re here — and hope you’ll join us soon!
