The church’s purpose, ultimately, is to usher in the Kingdom of God; share God’s love in action, and preach God’s gospel in teaching.

These produce a life that pleases… Read More »Live a Life Worthy (November 9, 2025)
There is a fullness of Christ that is available but sometimes feels unattainable. Yet in Colossians 2, the Apostle Paul encourages us with the complete sufficiency of Christ for every believer through three key movements—Knowing, Doing, and Overcoming. In Christ, we find our fullness, direction, and victory. He is the center and source of the… Read More »Triumph in Christ (November 2, 2025)
We are beginning a study of the book of Colossians, starting with these initial 4 parts. It doesn’t take much imagination to apply this church’s context to our own. Paul wrote to a church under the influence of over-powering political and economic systems that promised peace and prosperity (in a word, salvation) in exchange for… Read More »Jesus is (Still) the Answer (October 26, 2025)
Mimico Baptist Church has a rich history in this neighbourhood for almost 105 years. And yet our piece in God’s continuing, unfolding work is a small piece of a much bigger picture. This being CBOQ Sunday, we remember and celebrate what Jesus established and continues to establish through His churches which include this Baptist family… Read More »One Piece in His Bigger Picture (October 19, 2025)
For this Thanksgiving service, we come together in a spirit of both lament and gratitude. Guided by the words of Psalm 13, we acknowledge the deep cries of the soul—“How long, O Lord?”—and the honest wrestling with sorrow, silence and waiting. Yet even in the midst of that waiting, we also hold firm to the… Read More »Lament In Thanksgiving (October 12, 2025)

The final goal of ministry is spiritual formation; ours, and those who we serve. Spiritual formation is becoming like Jesus — growing in humility, service and community. As we complete our series about ministry teams, we consider that the pragmatic “life” in a ministry team includes Love — for those in our team and those we serve, Learn —… Read More »Living and Being Formed in Teams (October 5, 2025)

We are saddened by the passing of Julie Turcsanyi on Monday, September 15 in her 38th year. She was the cherished daughter of Angela Barnes and the late John Joseph Turcsanyi (2004), who also passed from cancer. Julie was part of the Mimico Baptist Church family for most of her life. Our comfort is knowing that she is now free… Read More »In Memoriam: Julie Turcsanyi
The ‘end’ of being in team is spiritual formation; ours and, in community, we contribute to each other’s formation. The ‘end’ is not getting a task done. Tasks certainly need to get done. However, the community of doing is first community. We need each other to grow; we see God’s face in the encouragement of another person.… Read More »Commitment to Community (September 28, 2025)
