We call ourselves a "church for people who aren't into church"; we want to create safe spaces for spiritual seekers to come and ask questions. Our mission is to honour God by proclaiming the irreligious message of Jesus and fostering loving communities of fully committed Christ-followers. We are a multi-site church with 18 communities that meet in movies theatres, renovated warehouses, and other rental spaces, in different cities throughout Ontario, Canada. The Meeting House is part of a family of churches called the Brethren in Christ (BIC Canada).
Rules, Rituals, Religion – Really? We think Jesus came to show us a different way, a better way.
Throughout history the Christian Church has often lost sight of the core message of Jesus. It’s not hard to see how this can happen. Whenever something really good comes along, people have a tendency to try and build around it, take advantage of it, own it, organize it, systematize it, enshrine it. The problem is, before you know it, the very thing you once valued ends up totally obscured by all that other stuff. The focus then shifts from masterpiece to the museum.
Everything we read about Jesus in the Bible paints a clear picture of a revolutionary and radical who intended on turning our ways of thinking upside down and inside out. He wasn’t interested in creating a new religious system of dos and don’ts, wrongs and rights, rites and rules. Rather, he had a completely irreligious agenda. His message was that we can only find true peace and wholeness when we embrace a love-based relationship with God, others, and even our enemies.
