Centre For The City

Love. Support. Encourage.

Centre For the City by Centre Street Church seeks to love, support, and encourage individuals experiencing challenging circumstances in the city of Calgary. We are inspired and strengthened by the ministry of Jesus Christ who invites us to love our neighbor as we love ourselves.

In partnership with other agencies, we walk alongside our under-resourced neighbours—regardless of their beliefs, race, and gender— by helping them to meet their spiritual and physical needs. Rooted in God’s grace, we can transform our city, build a brighter future for our nation, and unite our communities around His love for us.
