Welcome Message from the Pastor
Hello there!
Welcome to our Home Page.
The church of God is not a building. It is a group of people, drawn together by God's calling, through His Holy Spirit, filled with the love of God. The people that God has called into our congregations come from all walks of life. They attempt to represent God as ambassadors of the Kingdom of God. They are normal, genuine, caring, hospitable, ordinary every-day people. They do not put on religious airs. We know that the church is not a museum of saints. At times, we all need to have our spiritual wounds treated. The church can be a hospital for spiritual and emotional healing.
The scriptures encourage us to gather together for worship, fellowship, encouragement, as well as instruction and edification. We all need to be involved in something beyond just ourselves. We need to be nourished. We need opportunities to help and encourage others as well. No man is an island. The people of God are His flock. The flock needs to be close to their shepherd. Christ is our chief shepherd. It is my role to pastor the Calgary congregation as well as Red Deer, Winnipeg and Regina. It would be our pleasure to serve you in any way that I can.
During this current pandemic, services are a private gathering and are being held only for those who are registered on our attendance list becaue of the need for contact tracing.
Sincerely,
Rainer Salomaa
