In the spring of 1979, the city of Port Coquitlam and surrounding areas were blessed with a gift in the form of a new church called Northside Chapel. Over the next 30 years, using a simple agricultural model (given the right conditions, a healthy plant will always grow), this church grew substantially, at home and around the world. With further growth in mind, in early 2011, church leadership decided to take the 'farming' model to the next level and 'graft' a new plant from the original one - and so it was that this new church was begun.

Every church has its own distinct flavour. When you come to visit, you will discover ours pretty quickly. We value diversity, loving all people just as they are. God made each of us unique, with gifts and talents that He wants us to use for His glory. We also believe in preaching the truth of Gods word, and receiving direction from the Holy Spirit that enables creativity and innovation. We are far more concerned with effectiveness in ministry than adherence to tradition or efficiency. We believe that life is meant to be given away and that Christianity exists to share Christ with others.
