Scripture for the Day:
"Therefore I exhort first of all that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks be made for all men, for

and peaceable life in all godliness and reverence". 1 Tim 2:1-2

A Word About

The Community Gospel Chapel…

The Community Gospel Chapel is made up of ordinary people whose lives have been touched by Jesus Christ. We’re not perfect and we haven’t “arrived” but we are excited about who Jesus is and what He has done in our hearts and lives.

We are very much a community church made up of people of all ages, walks of life and denominational backgrounds. We seek to become a loving family that will minister to one another’s needs and reveal Christ to the world.

We gather regularly to worship, fellowship and learn together. Our common goals are to build up and encourage the body of Christ and to proclaim the message of God’s love and grace to our community of Salt Spring Island and beyond.

If you would like to know more about our church or would like further information regarding youth programs, home fellowship groups, Kindergym or any other program we offer, please feel free to contact Pastor Chris Cormack at our church office.
