Word About
The Community Gospel Chapel

The Community Gospel Chapel is made up of ordinary people whose lives have been touched by Jesus Christ. We're not perfect and we haven't arrived but we are excited about who Jesus is and what He has done in our hearts and lives.

We are very much a community church made up of people of all ages, walks of life and denominational backgrounds. We seek to become a loving family that will minister to one anothers needs and reveal Christ to the world.

We gather regularly to worship, fellowship and learn together. Our common goals are to build up and encourage the body of Christ and to proclaim the message of Gods love and grace to our community of Salt Spring Island and beyond.

We’re glad you could be with us today
