Children
The church provides special events for children in the community. Examples are the Funfair Day and the daily Vacation Bible School which are open to all children over age 4. The Funfair Day on a Saturday in July features inflatable slides, face painting and food. The Vacation Bible School runs for a week each summer and presents age-appropriate teaching, games, singing and food all with a common theme.
Community
The church plans events to serve its surrounding community. These events are free of charge and there are no collections of any kind. A free car wash is offered on a Saturday in September. Refreshments are served to the drivers while teams wash, rinse and dry the cars. Before Christmas, teams go caroling to homes that have accepted the invitation. The teams also give gifts to each home.
Missions
Quebec: The church supports missions outreach in the province of Quebec through the Quebec District of the Pentecostal Assemblies of Canada. Activities include church planting, support for developing churches, support and resources for various church ministries.
Philippines: The church manages its own missions program to help churches, orphanages and other outreaches in the Philippines. Typically monetary support is given for about 20 specific projects each year. Additional assistance may be given to help those hit by severe flooding or typhoon damage.
All of the projects have to be approved by the church board.
Other World Missions: The church supports world missions through the Pentecostal Assemblies of Canada. The PAOC has 350 missionaries working in about 75 countries to share the good news of Jesus Christ and to make disciples.
The church also supports the work of visiting evangelists and missionaries and special projects like Operation Christmas Child.
Nursing Home
Teams from the church travel to several nursing homes in the Montreal area on Sunday afternoons. There they present music, a message and a time of fellowship to the seniors that live there. These presentations are enjoyed by all.
If you would like a presentation at your nursing home you can contact the ministry leader at the church by e-mail at:
