Christ Lutheran Church, Waterloo

Christ Lutheran Church is situated in a residential suburban neighbourhood on a busy traffic thoroughfare (Lexington Rd. at Davenport). As such the relatively small building footprint is easily accessible from all directions. It is all on one level, making the building easily accessible for those with mobility challenges.

During the week, the building is full almost to capacity every day, with groups such as Music Together, Tai Chi, the Tamil Cultural Association, condominium council meetings, KW Glee, Brain Tumour Support

Group, Girl Scouts and KW Chamber Orchestra, to name a few. From morning to evening, Monday to Saturday, if not in name, then in practical functioning, our building is already a “community centre” in

many respects.

The congregation is known for its community meals throughout the year, enjoyed by congregants and neighbours alike, and organized by a handful of hospitable and generous members. An annual Christmas

Craft & Bake Sale, a Dramatic Production, and Community BBQ, help connect the faith community with neighbours.

Currently, the congregation is embarking on an intentional discernment process asking the questions: “Who do we think we are?” “Who are we, really?” “What is God calling us to be, and do?” These questions accompany investigations into future potential property developments. The small building footprint sits on almost 3 acres of open lawn, trees, a prayer labyrinth, and community garden, making the property not only a pleasing and relaxing sight to passersby and neighbours, but one which all can enjoy.“Who do we think we are?” “Who are we, really?” “What is God calling us to be, and do?” These questions accompany investigations into future potential property developments.
