So… church, eh? ๐ฌ
We get it. Walking into a spiritual space with a bunch of strangers can be overwhelming and super awkward. You’re likely wondering if we’re weird and if your kids will be safe and probably a million other anxiety-inducing questions. That is totally fair.ย
First off, Grassroots isn’t weird ๐คช and we absolutely prioritize your kids’ safety, ensuring all volunteers are vetted and have vulnerable sector checks. We invite you to keep exploring and/or connect with our pastor.

A Letter of Confession this Lenten Season
I trust you’re having a good week and a meaningful Lenten season… for those who are actively observing it. I’m going to be honest with you – this year’s Lent, for me, has so far been a bust. I find myself struggling to connect with the season’s depth and purpose. And I know this is probably not a good confession for a pastor to make, but, it’s real. Typically,ย Lent is a time for reflection, repentance, and renewalโa period where we draw nearer to God as we prepare our hearts for the mystery of Easter, the centre of our Christian calendar. Yet if I’m being totally honest, this year, that closeness feels…ย elusive at best.โ
