Types of churches in Calgary

Non-denominational

Modern music, practical teaching, and a relaxed, come-as-you-are atmosphere — popular with young adults and families who want a welcoming community without strong denominational ties.

Mainline & historic

Traditional worship with beautiful sanctuaries, choral music, and liturgical services — congregations that connect faith with history and a long-standing community presence.

Students & young adults

With the University of Colorado nearby, many churches emphasize student ministry — Bible studies, worship nights, and service opportunities built for people in their college and early-career years.

Family-friendly

Strong kids’ programs, youth groups, and safe, supportive environments — with Sunday school, childcare, and age-specific ministries throughout the city.

#GodsWill
“How many people sit and wonder, I wonder what God's will is for my life. Does God have a plan for me? Am I just supposed to go about my time on this earth and I don't have a mission for myself and what I need to accomplish? God here, his will can be understood to be this. His will is obedience to his word.”
41s
“Don't be like one of those people, you know, where problem comes or a trial comes, and you try this, this, this, this, this, this, and there's no answer. Right? There's nothing. Nothing seems to be working, and so you double up and you try harder. This, this, this, this, this, this, this. And then you're finally, like, with a prayer group or something like this. Right? And, someone says, you know, what week have you prayed about it? And you're like, well, not really. Or, like, someone finally says, you know, we should pray about this. And, somebody else is like, has it come to that? You know, like, prayer right off the bat. You hear me? Prayer right off the bat. Like, bring god into it right off the bat. He says, I will call upon the lord.”
51s
#WordStudy
“What's he tell us here? As we study the word of god, as we come to get an, put the picture together and have some wisdom, knowledge rightly applied, understanding the scripture, we will walk. Our Christian walk will be pleasing to God. And that's Paul's prayer. He he starts the letter with this and he says, my great desire for you who I have never ever met is that you know the word of God, that you understand the word of God, and that you walk worthy of the Lord.”
41s
#WalkWorthy
“My prayer for Canada as I travel around is that very prayer. That as I teach people to study the word of God, that they would come to the knowledge, the understanding, and then walk in a manner pleasing to God. And that is the challenge for you. Do you know the word of God? Do you understand the word of God? And do you walk in a manner pleasing of him? All things that you can take before the Lord this week as you remember what God is teaching us through the apostle Paul.”
49s
#GospelTransformation
“Last Sunday we looked at King Herod giving a feast. How did that go? All the important people, all the military commanders, every everybody who was who was in that party and how did it end? With John the Baptist being beheaded. Now Jesus gathers this large crowd. How does it end? People are being satisfied. Their needs are being met. So Mark here is saying there is a big difference between what the world says and what Jesus says. There's a big difference what the world does and what Jesus does. And today I want to present you to this gospel and that is the gospel that changes us from the inside.”
47s
#GiveWhatYouHave
“Again, this kid had barley bread, peasant food, servant food, animal food, But what he had, he gave to Jesus. He could have thought, man, this is embarrassing. Right? If I at least had wheat or white flour, which is much much more expensive and much healthier or better or taste whatever. Barley bread was the really the low income bread and that what he had he gave. What is it that you have that you say, you know what, this is nothing but God wants you to give it.”
37s
#GenerosityInAction
“We all have time. We all have time that we can see, you know what? I want to, with my time, help others. It may not be much. I don't have a seminary degree. I don't... I haven't read the bible cover to cover. I don't know what I'm doing, but I can help. I can volunteer. And then the second point is don't wait until you have more to become generous. Be generous with what you have. That's it.”
47s
#SavedByGrace
“Whereas people who are not believers, they're scared. They're wondering, what I wanna do? Was I... And this... I got I got this question so many times. Was I good enough compared to who? Mother Teresa or Hitler? Right, there there there's two very different settings here. Was I good enough? Did I make it? We who are believers, we know that we made it because of what Jesus Christ did on the cross. There's nothing that you can add, nothing that you can subtract. It is the finished work of Jesus Christ on the cross.”
41s
#ChooseJesus
“Knowing what is right is not enough. Eventually, the truth demands a decision. However you do answer this question will determine your testimony in this life because we know the truth and so many times we fail to share it. This is not about a better way, this is not about a political party or a person or a system. We're talking about Jesus Christ who is our life.”
40s
#FreedomInChrist
“Today's message is only one point and that is you can silence the voice but not your conscience. We know what is true and we know that the gospel of Jesus Christ is true. When we look at Jesus' words, when we look at the New Testament, we see that Christ has done and paid the ultimate price so that you and I can live in absolute freedom. And this freedom that we have should be shared freely with those around us.”
