C3 Church Calgary Inspiring your best life! We believe in connecting people to God and to each other. C3 Church is a fun and vibrant place where God changes people's lives; a place with a powerful message of faith, hope and love. C3 Church Calgary West is part of C3 Church International, a non-denominational movement that has started more than 200 churches throughout the world in the last 25 years. C3 Church is a vibrant church serving the Calgary area. We have been built on the vision of providing "real hope for real people in a real world". We do this by exposing the Gospel of Jesus Christ to a lost and hurting world, equipping believers to be fully-devoted followers of Jesus Christ, and experiencing ministry through the use of individuals' spiritual gifts and talents. We’re friends and we’re family and we believe in a real church that can thrive even in a culture that actively promotes ‘looking out for # 1’ CONTEMPORARY WORSHIP & MUSIC We aim to create an atmosphere where the churched and unchurched can experience God and His presence. We want to see God glorified in all the earth. Shout for joy to the lord, all the earth. Worship the Lord with Gladness; Come before him with joyful songs. [Psalms 100:1-2] Our worship services are exciting and full of life, allowing people to learn about and connect with Jesus. We believe in freedom in worship so, go ahead and sing loudly, sing quietly, raise your hands if you want to. Worship shapes our culture, we don't limit ourselves to style or formula; our aim is to tap into how the spirit is moving, God inspires the sound of our songs. We create music with one objective to give God all the glory all the honor and all the praise. Our first worship CD entitled, "Here I am", was nominated for the Canadian Vibe Award in 2003. Stay tuned for more worship releases from C3 Church. PRACTICAL MESSAGES We want to see you empowered to live your best life. Our messages are designed to address everyday issues that each one of us face. No topic is left untouched whether you’re looking to build your faith, if you need some advice on parenting, or working on improving relationships. We can guarantee it will be thought provoking and be prepared to have some laughs along the way – Ps. Lorne likes to sing.
You’ll find our Senior Pastor ministering on most Sundays, but we also have an energetic and equally compelling group of leaders who support him. Sermons vary from: working through books of the Bible, to a multi-part series, or a short inspired exhortation – or we could just hit it outfield and talk about ‘Passion, Purity & Pleasure’ out of the Song of Solomon. Whatever you’re in for... just know it’s going to be great! CONNECTING We were never meant to live out our faith alone - we were created to connect to each other. We hope you will agree that our Sunday Meetings are fun, powerful, relevant, full of inspiration, and revelation. We believe that God has specific plans for every single person! As we begin to establish a relationship with Christ, not only does he guarantee that we spend eternity in heaven, but his intention is that we live our best lifes here and now! At C3 Church we want to help facilitate life changing connections with God and with others, in a way that makes it a culturally relevant experience for you. As a community of believers we are working out and living out our lives together; one of our main ways of doing that is through our Life Groups. To be part of a spiritual community means connecting with God, connecting with the local church, and connecting with each other. Life Groups are our means of doing all three! At C3 Church we want you to experience God in a way that is relevant to your life... right where you're at! CASUAL ATMOSPHERE Whatever your mood, whatever your style, whatever your beliefs about God and whatever your thoughts about church – We welcome you with open arms. There’s no pressure, be yourself. We’re not going to bring you up on stage or ask you to mow our lawn – but you might have to wear a name tag (just kidding). Dress casually. Grab a cup of hot coffee or something iced if that’s your style. Browse through our Resource Centre before or after the service. Make some new friends. C3 Church has created an authentic, open and creative atmosphere that is welcoming, friendly and relaxing. We promise to give you a warm smile and a free coffee. Coffee and community go hand in hand – it’s what we’d offer our friends when they come over to make them feel at home. If you’re looking for a home church, come visit C3 Church . Give us a try and you might be on your way to living your best life. We know you’re going to love it here!
