BIG CHANGES IN 2024! Change and Growth marked the year 2024. Many people found their salvation in Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. 2024 witnessed the highest number of baptisms ever. More than 2023. In 2024 we had the largest FastTrack leadership training program in all of Canada. In 2024 we bought the church on 149/151 Pictou Road Bible Hill. This will allow us to help more people. Now 2025 begins with a single word: Grace. Some may associate the word 'Grace' with God’s favor and approval. God’s Grace is so much more. Grace brings favor and EMPOWERMENT. God’s Grace adds to His Kingdom. Acts 2:47 comes to mind when we think of Grace. 'And the LORD added to their number day by day those who were being saved'. What does 'Grace' entail? Grace means provision health miracles and God’s hand upon what men think of as impossible. Grace means expanding the Kingdom of God into new areas of influence. Let us see what God does this year in 2025. 2025 is the season to prioritize the Kingdom. God has amazing things in store for 2025. Join us as we pursue God’s Grace in 2025.
