Willingdon Church

It is very sweet and kind for Christian visit every Sunday. Somehow, if you are not religion people, here is still welcome people. I have a holly experience to purified heated darkness and guilty. It is my pleasure be invited by members. I have great and remarkable feeling during visited. A really helpful and purified place

Such a wonderful church! My husband and I are attending since 2015 and really appreciate the leadership team. God bless you!

This is a 5 Star Church! Excellent Biblical preaching that challenges me to walk closer to Jesus and to live on mission. Although a large church, pastors and staff serve with humility and authenticity, and work hard to help people feel connected. Plenty of opportunities to serve others and to develop God given gifts. Online services are a great alternative if you can’t attend in person, but seeking God in community takes it to a whole other level! Thank you for shepherding us well through this crazy season.

Edit: 09/19/18 Definitely come check this place out at least once! This church is such an excellent place. The worship has state of the art equipment with the band led by pastor Ron who all practice hours for the weekend service. What’s awesome is that they have 5 services: 2 on Saturday and 3 on Sunday + 2 streaming from the gym. The pastor was John Neufeld, who speaks such beautiful wisdom from God. Regretfully, things happened. Now it is Ray Harms-Wiebe who has experience from church planting and missions works. They have ministries for every age group for kids and students all the way to university students. I’ve been here for a long time and the more I stay the more I see how much Willingdon church is improving! There’s just too many things to share about this place.

Very welcoming place, if you check the welcome centre you might be able to find a group that speaks your mother language if is not english. The café have great food made at the church kitchen!

It's a church who makes you feel accepted and welcomed as a family. The pastor guides as you reflect walking with Jesus. The church volunteers are humble, kind, polite and caring. They strictly observed social distancing.

We used to attend this church for years but felt really let down during the pandemic. Other churches worked hard to connect with outdoor services and events, but Willingdon disappeared. There were no out reach or check in’s. Other churches had free student kits so the children could do activities online with the pastors. They also had weekly zoom meetings with the pastors. Willingdon Church did not. It felt like we were forgotten by our own family and leaders, during a time when we needed them the most. So much money invested in renovations and yet, it is not God’s home if His Word is not a priority. This church has changed into something commercial. Their social media is constantly plastered with photos of people attending the church, praying, worshipping etc. It seems they are more focused on promoting the church rather than being in service to God and His people. It makes me extremely uncomfortable to know that children and students’ photos are constantly posted on Facebook and Instagram. Isn’t it more important for people to attend the services and events comfortably and with ease, rather than worry about whether candid shots of them walking, praying, singing etc will be posted? Why are so many photos necessary? What is the intention? Who does it serve? A quick google search of a few random churches’ websites and social media confirm that this is not a normal occurrence in the church community. It would be helpful if Willingdon Church would stop posting these photos, especially of people (families and children). These photos are not necessary and do not serve beyond one’s self promotion and ego. This church has changed drastically in the last few years. We used to attend regularly because it was an inviting church that had great worship, good sermons and events. Ever since the worship pastor and Sam left, the new worship team has not been able to fill those shoes. It is also puzzling to me why the worship team is not groomed in a way that is representative of a church. There is a difference between casual comfort and dishevelled mess. The “junior” pastors seem stressed and there is just a general feeling of disconnect with God, His people and His Word. I’m not sure what’s going on but it makes me very sad. Willingdon was our home and it is indeed a great loss.

So great to be back in person! This is an awesome church. The new worship pastor, Jerry, is a great fit. Looking forward to how he will lead us into God’s presence and complement the Spirit led preaching pastors!
