Dear C3 Family,

Mary responded, “I am the Lord’s Servant. May everything you have said about me come true.” And the angel left her. (Luke 1:38 NLT)

I love this passage; Mary’s declaration of “I Am” feels both rehearsed and resolute. Her calling was to serve, to allow the Lord’s words about her to come to fruition. We all desire that, don’t we? What the Lord has written, spoken, and prophesied about our church surpasses anything we could envision ourselves. Because of the advent of Christ, we celebrate as we serve. Thank you for your selfless service and generosity in 2024.

As we approach the close of our 29th year, C3 Calgary wants to say “THANK YOU.” We are grateful for all that God has done through our C3 Family. Volunteers have stepped up in remarkable ways, and we are incredibly thankful!

Central Campus

We have seen an overall increase in service attendance, volunteer engagement, and number of groups outside of Sunday. 

Significant improvements have been made to our space, including soundproofing the kids’ area, expanding storage, securing more parking, and enhancing the main auditorium—all aimed at making our church more welcoming and excellent. We have had a temporary setback with our building location due to renovations unrelated to the church, impeding our access - we are working with the landlord, other tenants, and engineers to ensure we open back in the new year safely and promptly. Thank you for being part of this 7-year journey - many more great years ahead!

West Campus

We have enjoyed excellent Sunday experiences with growing attendance. Family/Youth Ministry is surging.

Midweek we have 32 enrolled in our AWANA program for kids learning scripture. Our Pantry has served 782 boxes of food to families so far. Oh and our favorite BAPTISM’S - together (both locations) we celebrated 42 amazing baptisms this year!

Our facility is great but needs upkeep, our facilities team is on it. Furnace upkeep, fire suppression system updated & snow removal. 

Online 

We had an average of 322 devices joining us each week. Our weekly impact has reached an average of 675 people across West, Central, and Online campuses.
