From the moment that you walk through the doors you feel so welcomed into God’s presence! Great worship & great message from God’s word every Sunday. Base Church has brought me into the best community of people + I’ve met some of my best friends here! God is truly working through His people in this church.

This church has become my home. I’ve met countless dear friends through my small group, and have grown in my biblical literacy. If you’re looking for a multicultural & multigenerational church in the KW region, check it out!

Love this church! A great place for all generations, tonnes of families, kids ministry is amazing. They have so many places you can get involved. The leaders are awesome quality people who attract more awesome quality people. I’ve never seen a church serve the community so well with events, outreaches and regular giving opportunity’s. The hunger for more of God to move is palpable and Sunday mornings are so good!

Since arriving in Canada, we have felt truly welcomed by the Base Church community. Their warmth and kindness have filled my heart with love and a sense of belonging. An amazing place, filled with God's presence, and lovely and supportive people. We are so grateful to be part of this family!

My Family and I love being a part of base church. Over the past few years we have connected with a wonderful community of people that we otherwise wouldn’t have connected with. There have been times in my life where my faith hasn’t always been a priority, whether through being preoccupied with day to day life or other tough life circumstances, but what I have found is that in being connected to my local church (Base church) and really focusing on the development of my faith, I have discovered a direction that I want my life to take. And while my problems don’t always go away, I find peace and a whole new perspective by daily interacting with God through the Bible or prayer and worship. At Base church I found an atmosphere that prioritizes meeting with God, and equipping our community for a life with God. The leadership team have always been supportive as well as challenging me when I need it. I think everyone should be a part of a church like Base, there would be a lot fewer problems in our world if we all tapped into church communities like Base.

LOVE THIS PLACE! Attending this church (and living life with some of the sweetest, most genuine people on the planet) has been one of the best decisions my family and I have made. MEGA grateful for the kindness of Jesus revealed through such consistent, faith-filled people across KW. The kids programming has made Sundays a highlight of our children’s week as well!

I have never before felt rooted in a church or such a profound connection to a church that I attend. From the moment I first walked through the doors at Base City Centre, I felt the presence of the lord and knew that I was home. Base church connects us to our faith, to our church and to each other in a way you have to come to experience. It is such a blessing to see God moving in this church and to experience the joy and excitement he brings through the ministry and community of Base Church.
