Justice & Compassion

Justice & Compassion Ministries at Foothills works to relieve poverty, restore hope and reach the vulnerable in our Foothills Family and broader community with a 'hand-up' (not a 'hand-out') approach.

Truth and Reconciliation

At Foothills, we know God calls the church to be a sign of his Kingdom where walls that divide are torn down. Under the reign of God all people are equal. Our practice is to be as welcoming as God himself, demonstrating to the world a foretaste of his Kingdom.

We also know there is still substantial work to be done. As a church that believes every person is of equal value to God, we are grieved to hear of the many injustices Indigenous People's have experienced, and continue to experience, across Canada.

Sonshine Community Services

Sonshine Community Services is a ministry that provides a safe space and shelter for women and children who are escaping family violence and abuse. They help women and children transform their lives by providing day homes, empowering families to move towards healthy and safe relationships and educating communities in order to help them become safer and healthier places to live.

Foothills helps by sponsoring a suite for women in need (volunteers help to clean and stock it), as well as donating financially, donating to the Bless Drive food and personal hygiene items and helping women and children transition in and out of Sonshine homes.
