A place to call home.
We’re a community church giving people a safe place to grow
At King Street Community Church, it is our desire to help everybody feel at home, no matter what stage of life you may find yourself in. Our goal is to support the whole person—body, soul, mind and spirit.
We are running ESL (English as a Second Language) classes again on Wednesday Evenings! Whether you’re just starting to learn English or looking to build on your skills at a more advanced level, these classes are for you.
Divorce Care is a friendly, caring group of people who will walk alongside you through one of life’s most difficult experiences. Don’t go through separation or divorce alone. Most people will tell you that separation and divorce are the most painful and stressful experiences they’ve ever faced. It’s a confusing time when you feel isolated and have lots of questions about issues you’ve never faced before.
This Lent, we’re inviting our church family to journey with Jesus through a shared Bible reading plan.
We’ll be following the YouVersion devotional Journeying with Jesus—40 Days of Lent, a daily rhythm to slow down, reflect, and prepare our hearts for Easter. We’ll read together and share insights along the way. This plan is for everyone—individuals, families, and those at every stage of faith.
Please help us provide a fun Easter party for hundreds of kids—This year we are hosting an Easter Joy Jam and we want to send a goodie bag home with the kids who join us! That’s where you come in. We are looking for donations of pre-wrapped, peanut free chocolates and Easter toys that we can put in the Easter goodie bags that are being sent home.
We’re hosting Young Engineers for a hands-on LEGO® workshop where kids will build, experiment, and explore STEAM concepts through creative play. And be reminded of God as the ultimate creator!
In a world that feels more anxious than ever, many of us wrestle with worry, overthinking, and a sense of being constantly on edge. This elective will help you understand the nature of anxiety—what’s happening in your body and mind—and how faith can guide you toward peace.
Join us for a high-energy day of basketball, volleyball, and European handball with other youth groups in the Lakeshore Section! There will also be pizza and time to hang out with friends.
We believe children are a gift from God, and Child Dedication is a moment for parents to give thanks and affirm their intention to raise their children to know and love Him. Parents commit to modeling a Christ-following life, teaching Scripture and prayer, and helping their child understand they belong to the Body of Christ. Dedications happen on the fifth Sunday, four times a year, and you can request a moment using the form.
Join us for LIFT Night on Palm Sunday, a powerful evening of worship, prayer, and Scripture as we prepare our hearts for Holy Week. This one-hour gathering is an opportunity to pause, reflect, and seek God together as we remember Jesus’ journey to the cross.
On Good Friday, we gather to remember the sacrifice of Jesus through worship, Scripture, and reflection. This sacred time will lead us to the foot of the cross, where we acknowledge the depth of His love and the weight of His sacrifice for us.
I think my hurry in life comes from a place of fear. Fear of missing out on the things that I’m supposed to experience or missing out on people I’m supposed to meet and know and love. I’m afraid that if I spend too much time here, I’ll miss out on the things that are ahead. I’m afraid someone else will beat me to it.
The warmth of the light shone through the glass and out into the bleakness of the frigid winter morning. Just inside the door she stood peering through the frosty glass at the empty street before her. Her tangled yellow hair tumbled over the hood of her bulky purple snowsuit. She had been waiting for him for a while; tiny pearls of sweat speckled her nose. She exhaled a warm breath onto the glass and wrote her name in sloppy cursive.
Your first year of marriage is often considered to be a big one, as it should. With all of the wedding chaos behind you, people are constantly asking how the newlyweds are, all while you are settling into your new lives together and learning to live combined lives. However, statistics tells us that the first year is often rocky and considered to be in the high-risk category for divorce. Unfortunately, most marriages that fail will do so in the first two years. So, today, I am going to get honest about my first year of marriage and pray that it will speak to you. It was a year totally filled with expectations, change, chaos, and a whole lot of feelings for sure yet, it taught me so much, and I wouldn’t trade that for anything.
As a community of faith people, there are many of us who like rules. We like the safety and comfort of the black and white do’s and don’ts, and struggle with the grey. We like the ‘thou shalts’ and tend to feel good about ourselves when we can check off the boxes of obedience and adhere to authority.
In the early hours of January 1, I sat alone on an empty Go train on my way into a shift at the hospital for work. It was just me, my reflection in the windows against the dark sky, and a journal I brought to pen my thoughts for the end of the year. I was in the beginning of what would be one of the most painful and emotionally draining seasons of my life and I had no idea. I wanted to wrap 2019 around with a neat little bow and lean forward with hopeful expectation into the year ahead, believing that 2020 would be the year everything came together for me. I penned in big letters the word faithfulness, which later came to be far more profound than I could have known in that moment.
It’s commonly said around King St; “Trouble doesn’t make an advanced appointment on your calendar – it just shows up!” As we all know from this year, the unexpected can and does happen but what can we do about it?
If you really think about it, those 7,000 words or more, are your imprint on the world; they dictate how people perceive you and largely define you. Yet, the book of Proverbs is filled with guidance to be careful with our words. So, where is the balance?
When you think about loving people and sexuality, most of us would say that these two things have everything to do with each other. But surprisingly there is a lot of sexual activity in our culture that has little to do with love. pornography, self-gratification, sexual experimentation and preferences and even sex in the media and advertisement has more to do with lust, than love.
2050, a bungalow stands,
An old man sits alone
The TV has played all it has to give,
He decides to pick up the phone.
“No”. A two year olds favourite word. The word a lot of us fear, dread, and despise. Just two letters long, but a word which carries a lot of weight. One of the shortest words in the English language, but one which can arguably hold the biggest impact.
