We are a Surrey church because we are located at 17400 60th Avenue in Surrey, British Columbia (map).
We are a covenant church because we believe in a personal God who has entered into a relationship with us through Jesus Christ. He is the Vine and we are the branches. Just as a Vine reproduces its life in its branches so that they bear fruit, so Jesus Christ reproduces his death to the realm of sin and his wholehearted love to God and his neighbour in our lives when we are joined to him by faith.
We are a Reformed church because our church has its roots in the Great Reformation of the 16th century. When it concerns the person and work of Christ, we believe that Christ is God’s perfect response to us because he dealt with the problem of sin and death for us, as our representative, and instead of us, as our substitute. Moreover, we believe that Christ is also our perfect response to God because He perfectly kept the Ten Commandments for us, as our representative, and instead of us, as our substitute. Thus, we believe not only in the substitutionary death of the Lord Jesus Christ, but also in his substitutionary life.
We are a church because we are an assembly of believers who officially gather together for worship on Sundays in order to exercise our unity in Christ and mature in this unity. We are a hand and a foot to each other during the week because we want to exercise our unity in Christ and mature in this unity as well. Moreover, because we are God’s new creation in Christ, we believe we are called to set up signs of the coming kingdom of God with our individual lives and our life together in order to manifest to each other and to the world that God is in the process of making all things new.
We welcome you to our services. We have a morning service beginning at 10.00 and an afternoon service beginning at 3:30.

But if anyone does sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous. 1 John 2:1 Our deepest problem is our sin, for our lives no longer fulfill God’s purpose. We no longer honor him, we no longer love him with all that is in […]
Be merciful, even as your Father is merciful. Luke 6:36 Mercy is about warm-heartedness. God the Father and his Son have a warm heart for people, especially for people in need. And who among us is not someone in need? The Old Testament uses the word rachum for mercy, a word that is […]
And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.” Matthew 28:18 We should never think too little about what Jesus Christ is able to do. Time and again, it’s important to let this sink in. It’s glorious to be able to know Jesus as a […]
. . . but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God. 1 Corinthians 1:24 In one way or another Jesus’ wisdom speaks to me more than his other virtues, for life is continually about seeking wisdom. We need wisdom to be able to […]
Answer me, O LORD, for your steadfast love is good; according to your abundant mercy, turn to me. Psalm 69:16 Jesus is good! This virtue reminds me of what I read about the creation of heaven and earth in the first chapter of Genesis. There I read that everything God had made was good. Everything […]
Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever. Hebrews 13:8 When I get to know Jesus, I come into contact with his eternity. Of myself, I do not have much feeling for this, for I live in time. This is something I just cannot escape. I simply am unable to reach beyond time. […]
Again Jesus spoke to them, saying, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.” John 8:12 Light. It’s a very powerful metaphor and thus a very powerful name for Jesus. I see the light of the sun, the light of a […]
For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who in every respect has been tempted as we are, yet without sin. Hebrews 4:15 What does a high priest do? For an answer to this question I need to imagine myself being in a worship service […]
This Jesus is the stone that was rejected by you, the builders, which has become the cornerstone. And there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved. Acts 4:11-12 Stones. You have them in all shapes and sizes. We […]
He is the radiance of the glory of God and the exact imprint of his nature, and he upholds the universe by the word of his power. Hebrews 1:3 I’m always wondering who God is. He is so great and powerful. He is so lofty and majestic. He is so everywhere and nowhere. He is […]
