Outreach

At Knox we strongly believe in each of us being equal before God and serve as a community in community, as one, a community of hope. Jesus told us, his disciples, to make disciples of all nations. One of the most important values of this church is our mission to the world. It begins in our own community, and spreads overseas to every nation. Church members are involved in a variety of ministries from things as simple as washing the church vehicles, to delivering food needs, to preparing the church bulletins.

Prayer Team

Knox Church is a body of believers who value prayer, and are committed to prayer ministry. Each Sunday, during worship, we pray for the larger needs of the world as well as offer prayers for specific needs close to home and heart. We have a dedicated team of ‘Prayer Warriors’ who will pray for any special requests and needs. Contact Pastor Chris with your prayer needs, and we will lift you and the person or situation to the Lord.

With other churches in town, we offer a yearly Vacation Bible Camp that in 2019 reached over 180 children!

We offer small group ministries

throughout the year at KPC.

Beyond our walls and borders, we are engaged in mission and ministry. Each year we take on an extra mission project, alternating between Canadian and international opportunities in turn. We have helped with a goat herd in Sudan, a new house in Nicagaragua, a water well in Malawi, motorbikes for rural pastors in Indonesia and various World Vision projects. We have supported members of the church on short -term mission trips to Guatemala and Nicaragua .

Music & Drama

Worship that honours the Lord and encourages His people is important to us! We welcome the gifts of God’s people in music ministry, leading prayer and making stories come alive through drama. We appreciate technical and computer skills as worship involves use of power point and video clips, to provide a meaningful visual worship experience. Our music is a blend of the best of psalms singing, traditional hymns and gospel songs, and contemporary music with an eternal message.

Marriage Preparation and Counseling

We value marriage at KPC, and ask couples to contact Pastor Chris regarding their wedding with enough lead time for important marriage preparation, not just wedding planning. Helping your marriage grow and thrive doesn’t just ‘happen’, so from time to time we offer group study and short term individual/couple counselling. Referrals and resources for marriage enrichment and help are freely offered
