A Gift Of Support This Season.
South Calgary Community Church have used our Compassion Ministry to help with emergency compassion needs and Christmas Hampers over the years.

Opportunities for Impact
Every September, as ministry activities resume around the church, there are opportunities to serve. But serving is much more than simply filling a need, it's about an opportunity to make an impact. Serving in church does more than just fill a need, it actually creates an opportunity for YOU to make an impact in people's lives. Regardless of the role you serve in, or the way you serve (behind the scenes, leading, teaching, practical help, etc.), all of them have the potential
