You can expect a vibrant and welcoming atmosphere that embodies us being “All About God & People”.

• Contemporary Worship: Our services feature contemporary worship music led by a talented team of musicians and vocalists. You’ll experience a mix of modern songs and timeless hymns, all designed to help you connect with God in a meaningful way.
• Relevant Preaching: Each service includes a sermon that is both engaging and relevant to your everyday life. Our pastors strive to deliver messages that are rooted in biblical truth and applicable to today’s challenges, providing practical insights and encouragement.
• Social Connections: We believe that church is more than just a place to attend; it’s a community where you can build lasting relationships. You’ll have opportunities to meet new people, connect with others, and be part of a supportive church family.
• Presence of God and People: Our worship services are centered around experiencing the presence of God together as a community. Whether through worship, prayer, or the preached Word, we aim to create an environment where you can encounter God’s love and power.
• Atmosphere of Our Vision: Everything we do is driven by our vision to be all about God and people. From the moment you walk in, you’ll notice an atmosphere that reflects our commitment to honouring God and valuing each person who comes through our doors.

We invite you to experience how our Sunday services can inspire and uplift you. We look forward to welcoming you into our community and experiencing God’s presence together.

Yes, we livestream all of our services online! You can watch in many different ways via the Embassy App, YouTube, and Facebook.

Whether you’re unable to attend in-person or prefer to participate from the comfort of your own home, watching service live allows you to be part of church life in real-time. We look forward to connecting with you online!

Sunday service usually lasts 90 to 105 minutes. This allows ample time for contemporary worship, relevant preaching, and opportunities for social connection, all while ensuring a meaningful and immersive experience in the presence of God.

We cross-reference NLT, NIV, NKJV, ESV, and more.

Our sermon archive is a comprehensive collection of past messages on our Sermons & Series webpage. You’ll discover a wealth of inspiring and thought-provoking sermons that you can listen to at your convenience. We encourage you to explore the archive and engage with the timeless truths and practical insights shared in each message.

Every year, our goal is to have a Missions Trip available for those who have the heart and desire to GO to the unreached and share the love of Jesus.

If you would like to join our Outreach Team, please connect with Pastor Elise via email. We have open doors to serve in local neighbourhoods, caring for the homeless, serving the elderly and street evangelism.

If you would like to volunteer in other areas of ministry, please email our Main Office to learn about more opportunities.

Embassy Kids (Nursery – Grade 4) meet every Sunday morning in the Family Centre on the West side of our Main Building. This ministry is designed to engage and nurture your little ones, while also growing them in their relationship with God. You can check-in your kids between 9:45am-10:45am and pick them up after Main Service ends.

Jr. High Students (Grades 5 – 8) meet almost every Sunday morning as well! You can find us on the second floor of the Main Building in Room A. We join the Main Service for praise and worship, then attend our own program afterwards.

We look forward to welcoming your kids and providing them with a safe, loving environment where they can learn and grow in their faith!

We believe in fostering deep connections and spiritual growth through Embassy Groups. These groups provide a variety of ways for adults to engage in church life, support each other, and grow in their faith. We offer:

• Growth Groups: These are designed to help you grow spiritually and personally. Whether you’re a new Christian, going through a season of grief, or simply looking to deepen your understanding of the Bible, we have groups tailored to meet your needs (i.e. Grief Share, New Believers, Make Embassy Your Home (MEYH), Bible Studies, etc.). We are continually developing new groups to address different areas of interest and need.
• Interest Groups: If you’re looking to connect with others who share your passions, our Interest Groups are perfect for you. These include activities like Sports Club, our Business Community, Prayer Groups, Men’s & Women’s Groups, and many more that are still being developed. These groups provide a fun and engaging way to build relationships and grow together in faith.
• Life Groups: These groups meet in the warmth of people’s homes, offering a relaxed environment to discuss the previous Sunday’s message. It’s a wonderful opportunity to dive deeper into the Word, share insights, and support each other in applying biblical principles to everyday life.
• Serve Groups: If you have a heart for serving others, our Serve Groups offer various volunteer opportunities within the church and local community. Whether it’s helping with church events or community outreach, these groups allow you to put your faith into action and make a positive impact.

Joining an Embassy Group is a great way to become more connected, supported, and involved in our church community. We look forward to helping you find the right group where you can grow, share, and serve alongside others.

Ensuring financial transparency and integrity is paramount to us, reflecting our commitment to responsible stewardship and trustworthiness. Here’s how we uphold these principles:

• Outsourcing Financial Management: We outsource the bookkeeping of our finances to a trusted company (mybookkeepingsolutions.ca) to ensure compliance with non-profit laws and professional standards. This allows us to benefit from expert guidance and oversight, ensuring that our financial practices align with best practices in the industry.
• Comprehensive Reporting: This move towards outsourcing our financial management provides us with professional weekly, monthly, quarterly, and annual financial reports, offering a clear and transparent view of our financial health to our leaders and board. These reports are essential tools for monitoring our financial performance and ensuring healthy stewardship and solid accountability to our members.
• External Quality and Compliance Control: We enforce external quality and compliance controls to maintain the highest standards of financial integrity. By partnering with reputable external agencies, such as CCCC, PAOC, an accountant bureau, etc.), we ensure that our financial practices meet regulatory requirements and industry standards.
• Annual Review Engagement: Each year, our finances are reviewed by an independent accounting firm through a formal Annual Review Engagement. This review provides an external and professional assessment of our financial statements and internal controls.
• Two-Signature and Two-Eyes Policy: We adhere to a two-signature and two-eyes policy for all financial transactions, ensuring accountability and oversight at every step. This policy helps safeguard against potential errors or irregularities, promoting financial integrity and transparency.
• Member Reporting: We present an abbreviated report of our finances annually to our members, offering an overview of our financial performance and stewardship. Additionally, we provide more detailed reports for members who wish to delve deeper into our financial affairs, fostering transparency and openness within our community.

By implementing these measures and continuously refining our financial governance practices, we strive to uphold the highest standards of financial transparency, integrity, and accountability.

We believe that responsible stewardship of resources is essential for fulfilling our mission and serving our church with excellence and integrity.
