This church is AWESOME! I've been going to this church for 2+ years. If you want to go to an all…read moreinclusive church, look no further. The singing is inspirational and moving; we use a lot of multimedia options in my church, we have our own coffee shop, our lead pastor teaches relevant material, every couple of months we have a mass baptism in our walk in baptismal pool. As a new guest you can pick up your welcome package that includes a free coffee. A couple times a year we have a celebration, where we bring in fire jugglers, swing acrobats and some pretty cool stuff.

Reasons this church is great:…read more - Good, contemporary music in the worship service; they even manage to play traditional hymns in a way I like :) - Sermons are very good, especially if you like learning about applying God's principles to your everyday life - The people there are generally pretty friendly, the pastors, other church leaders & volunteers are cool, and people are like real people- they don't pretend they're perfect all the time - The people who run the sermons, events, etc. aren't afraid to tell it like it is! I really appreciate their forthrightness. Anything you want to ask about or talk about, you can approach one of the church leaders & they'll discuss it with you directly and honestly. - You're allowed to be yourself- it doesn't matter if you show up in a business suit or purple dreadlocks, everyone's truly welcome. - There are often nommy snacks after the service! Places this church could improve: - People could be a little more involved in the worship services- I'm not sure why people don't get into it more - Actually I think community involvement is pretty much the big thing it could improve upon- passion, people, passion!

The building itself is beautiful - it's huge! Inside they have a huge sanctuary with 3 projector screens so are sure to be able to see wherever you are sitting. They have a cafe/coffee shop where you can grab a hot (or cold) drink and a snack (the muffins are good) before or after service. My only complaint here is that the line is always so long! I guess that means that it's just that good! I took the Staring Point course (it's only an hour and a half) to find out more about Beulah and it was really helpful. They are very clear about their beliefs, values and goals. It was a great time. I attend the west end campus of Beulah but there is also a south campus (the Whitemud Creek campus at 3935 114 Street with service at 10:00am). The main campus of Beulah (west) offers services on Saturday night at 6:30pm, and Sundays at 9:30am and again at 11:15am. This is a great church if you are looking for a community to settle into, get involved and meet new people.

My friend had organized a night where 8 to 10 volunteers would help prepare and serve a meal to the…read moreless fortunate. This was an excellent opportunity to help for a few hours and learn what goes on at this church. It was a great experience to do something meaningful and different from our everyday life. This church is located in the inner city and not the best area in the city. There is parking on the side of the church as well as at the back. We arrived at 5 p.m. and was greeted by Dora who has only worked there for a few weeks. She brought us into the kitchen where we had to wash our hands and put on gloves. We were all assigned duties such as cutting loaves of bread and buttering each slice, getting sets of fork, knife and spoon with a napkin together, and disinfecting all the tables. "Day old" breads are donated from places like Sobey's, Safeway and Cobs Bread and are put on shelves for hungry people to help themselves. The meal that evening consisted of a bowl of pea soup full of vegetables and ham, (made that afternoon), a thick slice of bread, some pudding and a banana. Each evening 300 to 350 hungry people line up at the front door waiting to get in for a meal. Dinner is served between 7 and 8 p.m. Since most of us volunteers knew each other, we had lots of fun as we were "working". We didn't know what to expect since 6 out of the 8 of us have never done this before. We brought out the food to be served onto a long counter, one volunteer handed out the cutlery, one scooped the soup, one gave a slice a bread, one a bowl of pudding and one handed out a banana. The other volunteers were helping bring out more food when needed and to just lend an extra hand. There were all types of people coming in, different races, ages and a few kids. It was very sad to see the parents having to bring their young children for a meal. Many people would smile and thank us for their food and then some others don't say a word. Some people wanted more than one serving but unfortunately, we were unable to give them extra. The hour went by very quickly, we ran out of pudding and only had a few bananas left. Now we had to clean up! We brought all the leftover food into the kitchen, wiped down everything, swept and mopped the floor. We also got to try the leftover food, the soup was quite tasty! I would recommend volunteering if you have a chance, get a few friends and/or co-workers together and sign up! It was rewarding knowing that my time was appreciated by the Mustard Seed and learning what resources are available for those less fortunate.

The place is underfunded, run down and dangerous. Constant use of drugs and alcohol around the…read morefacility. Constant drama and fighting amongst the people seeking shelter. Staff seem more concerned about playing on their phones or taking naps in the main office then running a shelter. Surly staff with attitudes. God forbid you ask them for anything like opening up the showers even though you have proof of employment. Ask for anything period and it seems like the end of the world for them to get off their lazy a$$es and do anything. Not a good experience at all, I would never return to this facility. Still there for now, since this is public record I hope you read this. Also the no personal blankets policy is ridiculous when you don't even have enough clean blankets to provide the overflow are with one. If there's 40 beds, there should be 40 blankets available. Pretty simple mathematics as far as I'm concerned. Avoid this place at all costs, Hope Mission is worse but this place is run by power tripping rude staff and they don't even have enough blankets for everyone. We're not animals, we're people in a rough spot. Get your act together, in all honesty, this place is pathetic.

What made it such a positive experience was the feeling of being surrounded by brothers and sisters in a liberal and open space where being a seeker of God was the only denominator and nothing else mattered. I especially enjoyed the inspiring and intelligent sermon and the modern music and singing that made the church feel truly alive!
