Lawrence Park Community Church is committed to being a radically inclusive and welcoming congregation. We preach and live a Good News that is contemporary and challenging. Whatever age you may be, whatever stage of exploring faith you may be at, you will find support, encouragement and spiritual stimulation in our congregation. Theologically, our approach to the Christian faith is progressive and contemporary. We worship a God who is more 'within' than 'beyond'. We proclaim Jesus as "The Way" to life -- but we do not accept the notion of Jesus as "the only way". We understand ourselves to be a part of Canada's faith mosaic -- even as we affirm the beauty and dignity of other parts of that mosaic as well. We have recently complted a major renovation project on our building. Our new building is environmentally friendly, fully accessible, and welcoming for people of all ages and stages of life. It’s an exciting time in our congregation. We hope you'll share that time with us.
