WHO WE ARE
Thanks for checking out our church! We want you to know a little bit about us, so you'll know what to expect when you connect with us.
We are a community made up of people of all ages, life stages, and backgrounds.
We are a community of people who have found true forgiveness, freedom and fulfillment in Jesus Christ.
We are a community of people who are all works in progress in him.
We're all about JESUS at The Harbour!
ALREADY A FOLLOWER
OF JESUS?
We are a church on mission for MORE JESUS
More Jesus in MY LIFE
- Pursuing a growing relationship with him
- Cultivating good spiritual disciplines
- Submitting to his Lordship and leadership
More Jesus in OTHER PEOPLE'S LIVES
- Intentionally coming alongside other people and doing our part to disciple them (i.e., sharing the Gospel, praying for them, studying together)
- Serving and doing good works in the community in Jesus' name
...all by the power of the Holy Spirit
Real life. Real relationships. Real power. More Jesus.
We would love for you to take the journey with us!
NOT A FOLLOWER
OF JESUS YET?
You are welcome here.
Come as you are.
Explore. Be curious. Ask questions. Do research.
We want to honour you on your journey.
We definitely believe Jesus is THE way, truth, and life, and everything that you're truly searching for. We will definitely steer you toward him and encourage you to pursue him.
But we understand that sometimes, it takes time, and we're good to walk beside you however long it takes.
We would love for you to take the journey with us too!
FOR GREATER SAINT JOHN
We have a physical location that serves as our 'home base', but the church is more than just a building.
Our home base is located in East Saint John, but we care deeply about the entire Greater Saint John area.
We are not confined to one particular space in one particular location, waiting for people to come to us; our heart is to GO into the contexts God has placed each of us in and to be effective Kingdom workers.
This means we do not simply 'go' to church - we ARE the church - and church should 'happen' every day of the week, all across the city, with all kinds of people, in all kinds of forms!
WHAT WE BELIEVE
Our core message is the Gospel - the good news about Jesus, as seen in the Bible, which is our final authority in matters of life and doctrine:
- There is one God, by whom and for whom all things exist
- We have separated ourselves from God by our sin
- God's solution for our sin is his Son Jesus Christ
- Jesus died on a cross to pay for our sin and rose from the grave victorious over death
- We are saved by believing what Jesus has done for us, repenting of our sin and surrendering our lives to him.
- We are called to follow Jesus with our whole lives
- If we're saved, we will spend eternity with Jesus
