Far from being a place where we are mere spectators or consumers, the Church is for us a laboratory where we learn and experiment together on how to be just, compassionate, and courageous—in other words, Christ-like. We draw on our scriptures, our traditions, our reason, and our experience to guide and inspire us. It is through dialogue, creativity, and shared experience that we best move forward on the path with Christ. It is in this spirit that we come together to:
This space, this sanctuary, should be like a laboratory—a safe place where we can learn to welcome and accept people who are different from us; to change our behavior when it does not constitute an act of love toward our neighbor; to practice asking for forgiveness and forgiving when people make mistakes; and to broaden our understanding of God through the eyes of the Other.

Our services are held every Sunday according to the following schedule:
First Sunday: “La Rallonge” Service , from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.
There is no 10 a.m. service that Sunday: we’ll meet later in the day for an intergenerational service. After starting off together, children, teens, and adults explore the day’s theme in small groups before coming back together for prayer and singing. The gathering continues with a shared meal. There’s always room for one more!
2nd Sunday: English-language communion service for all ages from 10 to 11 am
3rd Sunday: “Laboratory” Service from 10 to 11 am
4th Sunday: Service in French with Holy Communion from 10 to 11 am
