Telkwa Community Church

Who we are:

• We are a welcoming, friendly, compassionate church family. We are multi-generational with all ages from newborn to seniors. We gather to worship in unity as believers with many backgrounds and perspectives. 

• We celebrate during times of joy and grieve together during times of sorrow.

• We care for everyone through friendship and prayer, sharing meals together, giving support during times of difficulties such as dropping off meals as a sign that someone is thinking of them, or providing a quilt that is a lasting hug. 

• We strive to reach out to our surrounding neighbours to let them know that we care. We participate in a community soup kitchen once a month.

• We pull together to provide meaningful worship and spiritual direction using everyone's gifts no matter what stage of life they're in. 

• We are in the heart of the Village of Telkwa, a community of rural and quiet neighbourhoods in northwest BC, surrounded by God's amazing creation of forests, rivers, lakes and mountains. We are 15 minutes from Smithers, a town where we work and shop.

​

Accessibility:

• Our building has three levels with an elevator giving access to each level. Our building entrance is wheelchair accessible, and there is accessible parking adjacent to the entrance.  

• Our washrooms are in the basement, with a stall suitable for a wheelchair in the women's washroom.

• We offer space at the back of the sanctuary for those who need room to move.

• Anyone is welcome to use pencil cases and colouring pages at anytime in the service.  (They are on the back table in the sanctuary.) 

• We welcome all people with disabilities, neurodivergent people, and are open to suggestions to improve your experience in our church. Please let our greeters know what accommodations you need. ​

Our Church Denomination:

We belong to a wider family of churches called the Christian Reformed Churches of North America made up of more than 1000 churches in Canada and the US. As a denomination, we are involved in a number of areas that address the brokenness of life locally and globally.

​

STAFF: 

We are currently in transition as our pastors, Joe and Michelle Ellis, have decided to make a change in their ministry. We are searching for the right pastor(s) to shepherd our little flock in Telkwa Community Church.
