Mustard seed women shelter is a very great place to stay…read more They serve nutritious breakfast, lunch and dinner. Most of the staff are friendly, very helpful and sympathetic. I am always looking forward to staff Toyosi's shift, she has excellent conflicts management skills she always made sure everyone is ok . Before I came to mustard seed women shelter, I was hopeless, depressed and fearful of the future. When I started attending the evening fellowship at mustard seed, and listening to encouraging words of faith, prayers and testimonies from the staff , my faith became stronger, faith and laughter became my friend. I have left the shelter to my own place, I was able to access financial and housing resources through the mustard seed women shelter. I am now a better person. Thank you so much!

I can't and won't speak towards the religious side of this building, but as a seated event venue it's so very cool! It's one of the few impressive sandstone architecture churches in this relatively new city. Large arched ceilings and large arched stained glass windows give any event a classy and powerful cathedral feel. Acoustic music reverberates cleanly through this very live sounding venue and adds it's own unique characteristics to the listening experience. It seats around 600 people in orchestra style pew seating with a second story balcony at the back and second level side seating close to the stage. There's a large and spacious space basement level which makes for a great mingling space during intermissions.

DISCLAIMER: While my Skeptic little self has never experience Knox United Church (or any other…read morechurch, truth be told) as a religious organization, I really appreciate its role in Calgary's music community. It would seem that all of the best shows occur at Knox. It is where I have had the chance to see some of my favourite (has anyone else noticed that Yelp totally spellchecks the Canadian spelling of FAVOURITE? Probably just jealous that we spell it proper) artists perform, such as Owen Pallet, Timber Timbre, Daniel Johnston, Dan Mangan, and the list goes on. I've seen Owen Pallet a few times here, and the acoustics of the church always contain his violin music more beautifully than I have ever witnessed seeing his act at outdoor festivals or larger venues. Daniel Johnston was also completely haunting, which I believe the space contributed to a lot. The church itself aesthetically is absolutely gorgeous, and rich in history, from what I understand. The sound is something I just can't get over. Incredible. There is something about this venue that makes me all warm inside. I actually sometimes attend shows based on whether or not it is at Knox.

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.

When you're looking to find a comfortable place to learn, grow, Question try here…read more Personal back story: I've tried Many churches, religious organizations, I've tried place after place but there would always be a point when something would be said, or done, or hinted at, that didn't quite settle. There was expectations, judgement or uncomfortable moments. When I first came here I was on edge, I was ready to not like something. To last no longer then a couple months as per normal. It's been over 2 years now. Our kids wouldn't let us miss a Sunday even if we wanted too. This church is open, accepting, non judgemental, wear what you want, be who you want. Just Be Good, Live Good. Easy. Want to hear more before you come, check out their podcast. I think there's some videos online too. Or ask me, I'll tell you what I can or connect you. Seriously though, it's a no pressure, no judge, live good kind of place that I'm (for once happy to admit I go to)
