"Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give... for God loves a cheerful giver." 2 Corinthians 9:7
We believe generosity changes lives - both ours and those we serve. We have found that living with open hands is how we were meant to live. Not just with our finances, but with our time, our skills, and our care.
Your giving through MCA fuels ministry, meets real needs locally and globally, and helps us as a community live open handed when God brings opportunity for generosity our way. Every gift is prayerfully stewarded through accountable systems to make a lasting impact.
We set out to raise $5,000 to begin renovating our downstairs kids’ spaces so every child who walks through our doors knows they’re seen, valued, and worth investing in.
After just two Sundays, you doubled that goal raising $10,000!
Because of your generosity, we’re moving forward this fall with updated, age-specific spaces for Nursery, Kinder Kids, Grades 1–5, and Jr. High/Youth.
These aren’t just renovations, they’re opportunities for kids to learn about Jesus, ask questions, build friendships, and grow in faith. Thank you for helping us invest in the next generation, we can’t wait to get started!
Every donation, no matter the size, makes a difference.
Here's how your contribution helps:
Your giving through general tithes and offerings, enable us to run various programs and ministries for individuals and families within our community. Outside of the essential costs of owning and maintaining property, we’re able to run our weekly Sunday services, small groups, special events, outreach initiatives and more.
We believe in reaching out to those in need, both locally and globally. Your generosity helps us fund outreach initiatives that provide food, shelter, and hope to those who need it most.
Currently our mission partners include the following:
Darren and Patty McCrea - Colombia
Helping diverse churches connect with people from all walks of life - including those in local children’s homes, individuals facing addiction, and others in desperate need. Their ministry also includes building churches, children’s homes, and schools.
Sarah and TJ LaPlant - Romania
Their core ministry centers on addressing the needs of abandoned children in Romania through three key areas: preventing abandonment by supporting families, advocating for children in need of a family, and equipping adoptive and foster families with training and support.
Scott Cooper (Street Level Advocacy) - Peterborough, ON
As a Mission Canada worker, Scott serves as a Street Level Advocate in Peterborough’s urban core, building relationships with those experiencing homelessness, addiction, and isolation. Drawing on 30 years of pastoral ministry, he connects individuals to vital resources, advocates for their well-being, and helps bridge the gap between the streets, local churches, and police services. His heart is to reflect Christ’s love through kindness, presence, and connection, ultimately pointing people to a Heavenly Father who offers hope and restoration.
Aimee Heyer - Peterborough, ON
Aimee and her husband Marv lead Home Farm Ministries near Peterborough, ON, creating therapeutic farm spaces to support children and youth facing mental health challenges. With over 20 years of ministry experience, including missions work in Africa, Aimee uses horses, farm life, and creative outreach—like riding lessons, bonfires, and one-on-one mentoring—to build meaningful connections and share the love of Jesus. Their passion is to use everything at their disposal to help people encounter Christ through community.
Together with our board of directors, we set an annual budget based on a percentage of the previous year’s giving. This allows us to intentionally leave room for what we call “Opportunities & Obstacles” - our version of an emergency fund.
Just like homeowners prepare for unexpected repairs, we plan ahead for the unexpected - whether it’s an urgent facility need, a surprise ministry opportunity, or an unforeseen expense. We don’t spend what we don’t have, but when giving exceeds our expectations, we steward the extra by saving for these moments, trusting that God will use both the planned and the unplanned for His purposes.
