My sister in law Jacquie ( only 59) has been type 1 diabetic her whole life. After chemo for breast cancer last year and the aftercare medications she has hard a hard time keeping her sugars in check Long story short she has had 3 emergency surgeries in the last 2 weeks resulting in an amputation just above her knee, today we were told the surgery was not successful and she will potentially have another surgery on Thursday, if this one doesn’t work they have said that there is nothing more they can do. John is looking at flights as I write but we would appreciate Gods protection over Jacquie and the medical team. Also comfort for the whole family. Jacquie is not a follower of Jesus so Id also like prayer that she will turn to God through this time and that she would feel his comfort, love and presence

Southridge believes we’re better together.

That’s why we seek to foster unity and serve alongside the Broader Church and community partners to share Jesus’ love with the world. To that end, we have a community of core ministry partners that are not only integral to our mission but through whom we enjoy the mutuality of making their ministry better too. Southridge works closely with a number of core ministry partners. While we're eager to partner with anyone seeking to do the work that expresses Jesus' love to the world, a few organizations have become critical to our church's mission.

Together with the Region of Niagara, Southridge extends love to the homeless.

Southridge has a hostel agreement with the department of Community Services within our Regional government.

This relationship not only helps us offset the costs of running our homelessness services at our St. Catharines location; it also supports our mutual values of providing holistic care and ongoing support to those experiencing homelessness.

At Southridge, we believe that LGBTQ+ people are deeply loved by God and are full image bearers of God, each bringing unique value to our community. In that spirit, everyone is welcome to belong and participate in the life of our church.  

As a fully-inclusive Jesus-centred church, LGBTQ+ followers of Jesus have full and equal opportunity to participate in baptism, membership, leadership, employment, and marriage.
