Located in Squamish’s downtown core, the Ledge is about living in everyday community together and simply making Jesus known.

Imagine a place that serves the community as a missionary outpost, a discipleship school, cafe, and live music venue. Where the words of Jesus are walked out.  It’s part of the vision God gave the Rock Church.

It’s exciting and we want to tell you why.

Beginnings

The Ledge started with a prayer and a small “for sale” sign in the window of a downtown Squamish storefront.

“The vision for the Ledge goes back two years before we even moved here,” said Glenn Davies, lead pastor at the Rock. “At first I thought I was crazy thinking and praying about something like the Ledge but the Lord opened the door.”

A few months after the launch of the Rock, the church was able to purchase that little downtown storefront. This in itself was a miracle for such a young church.

“The old girl needed repairs but we felt it was what we were supposed to do. With the support of our denomination and church community, a taskforce was formed and you would be amazed by the core group of people God brought along,” Davies said.

Today, this core group of young men, women, families, community business leaders and faithful prayer warriors are working hard to see this little building become, a place that serves Squamish as the Rock’s Ministry Centre and The Ledge Cafe.

The journey

The journey has not been without a few bumps and delays but Davies said each bump was a reminder of God’s timing. In fact, the little building has become a testimony of what God is doing in Squamish and the church community.

There were times when it seemed challenges with the Ledge were stacking up. After peeling back a few layers, it became clear the building needed more than just a bit of paint. But again, God proved more faithful than imagined.

“From the beginning we wanted to let the Lord lead us. I remember driving past the Ledge during the Santa Claus parade and it was painful. I wanted to be in there ministering. But I was reminded that God knows what He is doing,” Davies said. “Soon after, the work really started to come together.”

The miracle

After raising over $209,000 in 1.5 years, more funds were needed to finish the renovations and open the Ledge. God swung the doors open. Early in 2012, the BC Conference of MB Churches, committed to finance the balance of the funds required to complete the renovations.

“The Lord took care of the details, which is such a testimony that He is doing this,” Davies said.

In a few short weeks the doors of the Ledge will be open to Squamish. Imagine a place dedicated to the Lord, to talking about Jesus, to seeing lives changed through the gospel. Imagine the Ledge. For images of the Ledge click here.

In this week’s podcast it is now a few weeks after his resurrection, Jesus meets with his disciples one last time before ascending to his Father. He tells them to wait in Jerusalem for the Holy Spirit to empower them for the mission that lies ahead. Acts 2 is an awesome passage as the promised Holy Spirit comes upon the disciples, Peter preaches the first and possibly best Gospel sermon ever preached and the result—in the power of the Holy Spirit over 5,000 men and women came to faith in Jesus and the church was born! This was a great day!

On this day almost two thousand years ago, Jesus of Nazareth, a man who professed to be the Son of God, was nailed to a Roman cross and crucified. The Christian church remembers this day by referring to it as Good Friday. Why? What’s so Good about a day that commemorates the murder of an innocent man?

Join us at Eagle Eye Community Theatre in Howe Sound Secondary School at 7:00 PM this Friday evening and find out—What’s So Good About Good Friday!

For the past 5-6 years we have a steady stream of young men and women and their families having a burden placed on their hearts to leave it all behind and go to a specific people and place—NOW! It is a wonderful thing to behold and and even better privilege to be a part of.

Our once small band of church planters in BC, better known as Church Planting BC (CPBC), has now expanded to become the C2C Network building up church planters all across this land. The video below is the most recent testimony of what our God is doing all across this beautiful land—Canada! Watch it and be encouraged.

It’s less than 12 hours before Jesus is murdered and the first of the two most important events in the history of the world! Chapter 26 of Matthew’s gospel begins with a change of scenery and pace. The characters in what has become known as the Passion, enter the stage, the scenes of this first event, and are to be contrasted with the central character—Jesus. The contrasts are stark and, at the same time, they highlight the nature of those Jesus came to die for, to save, and the heart of the Messiah.
