First Mennonite Church

The mission of First Mennonite Church is to support the Christian faith through fellowship and worship spread the Word of God and to help those in need. In Calgary we provide a place of worship Christian leadership and counseling services. We operate a youth program that includes Vacation Bible School for younger children social events and service opportunities for teens. We sponsor refugees and support them as they start a new life in Canada. We also help people with immediate needs by providing grocery vouchers bus tickets and other basic consumable items. We support other Mennonite charities that run provincial national and international programs. We partnered with the local neighbourhood association to run a tots program that provides caregivers and their small children a place to meet weekly for play and fellowship. We started an inclusive social group for adults. The program is open to anyone who wants to socialize with their adult peers but is primarily targeted for those with developmental disabilities differing gender identities or any other differences that make it difficult to socialize in other settings.
