    I was going to do my usual yelping duties and I couldn't help but see the rainbow flags waving in…read morethe air from a church, I thought is this a gay store a gay club? Imagine my surprise to see it was a church. Rainbow flags are pretty rare in Calgary where if you walk in the west end of Vancouver they are everywhere. I was so curious... seems like Hillhurst's strives to accept each individual as they are and the ministry welcomes the participation of all persons regardless of age, gender identity, health, race, sexual orientation, differing abilities, religious or ethnic background or economic circumstances. Hillhurst participates from Inn from the cold hosting the homeless every third Saturday of every month, there is a Kidspace every Sunday mornings for the kiddies, and because of limited parking they encourage folks to ride a bike to mass, walk or to take the train! There are tons of bike racks in the back of the church. I was impressed with the overall openness of this parish on so many levels.

    they do some amazing stuff there, almost every day of the week. I have attended 2 plays there and a…read morefew Sunday services since I moved here. I always leave having had a great belly laugh, and my eyes wide opened in viewing my world and the people that make it. Truly open minded and accepting and inspiring!

    My husband and I were married here. We opted to get married here, in charming Inglewood, in a…read morebeautiful old church that requires no decoration, instead of getting married in an Evangelical rec-room/sanctuary at a new church with grey carpet and burgundy banquet chairs. And guess what? It was cheaper too. We didn't decorate the church in any way. Nothing. It was beautiful and simple and exactly us. The church admin and pastors were great. They let us bring in our own pastor and they provided someone who ran the sound perfectly. A great experience.

    Five stars for a church? Oh yes. Make no mistake, this review is not of any particular activities…read morethat happen within the walls of this community church, but of the space itself. It's fabulous! I attended Pecha Kucha Night #7: Love with a great many other Calgarians. The building has a wonderful setup. The basement comes with a full kitchen (and can masquerade as the bar), a small stage, and a good-sized main room with smaller rooms sectioned off along one wall. I fell in love with the checker-board tiling on the floor. It was fun exploring all the different stairwells that connected the basement to the first floor. The main hall is setup with a stage at the front and three columns of pews, one in the centre, and two at an angle on the sides. The best seats are by far in the middle. You may find a pillar or two obstructing your view from the sides. It looked like a pipe organ was installed at the very front of the room, although I'm not sure if it works or not. If you look up, you'll notice a second balcony that wraps around 3 sides of the room. I couldn't help but admire the intricate pattern on the railing. I hopped upstairs to check out the view from above during the intermission, I think I would've preferred the seats up there to those in the wings on the main floor. Although there was a good sound system in place for the evening, at one point the emcee stepped in front of the mic to demonstrate the room acoustics. I could hear him without any trouble at the back of the room. The only downfall is in the quantity of available washrooms. There aren't many. I counted two-that's not to say there isn't at least one more in the building somewhere. However, it's not exactly something an old-school church can do anything about, so no stars lost there.
