About Us
We come together to worship the Lord Jesus Christ and to share our lives together as we follow Him.
Our weekly worship services are key gathering times for our community of believers. We meet at 10:00 AM in summer, (11:00 AM September to June) at 332 Canora Ave. (3 blocks east of Highway #9). During the school year, we have children’s Sunday School – but we take a break in the summer. We meet both in person and also via Zoom (contact us for a link). Our services are not recorded for later viewing.
Sunday Mornings:
10:00 AM Worship (11:00 September to June) in person or via “Zoom”. (You can get a link by contacting the church.) Our time together includes Scripture, singing, prayer and a message from God’s Word.
“Engage” is a time for questions and discussion before the worship service (September 13 to June). Everyone is welcome. (We take a break in summer.)
“Dive In” is a time for youth (grades 6 and up) to gather and “dive into” God’s Word. They meet downstairs before the worship service (September 13 to June). (We take a break in summer.)
Children’s Sunday School (September 13 to June) is an age-appropriate time for children (ages 5 through grade 5/6) to learn about Jesus and have some fun together. (We will take a break for summer and resume on September 13.)

SUMMER CHILDREN AND YOUTH PROGRAMS
Ketchen Lake Bible Camp – we are strong supporters of KLBC and invite children and youth to attend. There are camps throughout the summer – as well as a Family Camp. We would love to make it possible for everyone who wants to attend the Camp. Check out the Camp for yourself at their website https://www.ketchenlakebiblecamp.org/
Our Beliefs
We believe that we are here for a reason — there is a higher power — God, who shapes the world and each of our lives. He has revealed Himself in His Son, Jesus Christ. We invite you to come and get to know Him with us.
We are a member congregation of the Saskatchewan Conference of Mennonite Brethren Churches (www.skmb.ca) and the Canadian Conference of Mennonite Brethren Churches (www.mennonitebrethren.ca)
Are you interested in learning more about our congregation? We’re happy to share more about our journey with Jesus Christ. Come and meet us and grow with us (or for now, connect with us via “Zoom”).
To learn more about what we believe, you can take a look at our Confession of Faith. https://www.mennonitebrethren.ca/mb-confession-of-faith/
Greetings! I’m Pastor Greg Bright.
It is my honour to serve as pastor of this wonderful congregation in Canora. At times it can be a lot of fun!
We are a diverse congregation from a variety of backgrounds. We find our common ground in Jesus. We share a love for Him and a desire to know Him better. Together we seek to follow Him more closely in every part of our daily lives. I love our diversity! It mirrors, for me, the heart of our God who loves the whole world! Everyone is welcome and together we learn and grow as God speaks to us and through each of us by His Spirit.
My wife, Carolyn, and I are so thankful for our three children and their families. Two of our children are married and, in all, we have 5 grandchildren – all of them are a wonderful blessing! Carolyn and I are privileged to have served with Gateway Community Church for over 26 years and we continue to do so with joy.
Over the years Carolyn and I have worked at a few different second jobs. Carolyn is a substitute teacher and I am in my seventh year as a part-time Direct Support Professional working at the Canora Group Home supporting people with intellectual disabilities. It is an honour to serve God and others in this way too.
We see ourselves as partnering with God and His people while He does His work in us, among us, and through us in creative and wonderful ways. Moreover, we look forward with hope as we anticipate that the Lord will continue His work in the days, weeks, and years ahead.
