Our mission statement
The mission of Snowdon Baptist Church is to make fully devoted followers of Jesus of all peoples and to build a vibrant multicultural community of believers in Montreal.
Our Core values
1. The Bible
The Bible is God’s inspired word. It is our primary source of authority in all matters of faith and practice. Therefore we strive to proclaim, teach and submit to its sacred content. (2 Timothy 3:16-17)
2. Worship
We strive for excellence in all aspects of our corporate worship in order to glorify God. This means a commitment to high quality in everything from music to preaching. (Acts 2:46-47)
3. Evangelism
Because we have experienced the saving grace of God, we strive through varied means to let others know how they can experience it too. We are committed to world missions and raising the awareness of how the Gospel is spreading around the world. (1 John 3:18, 1 Timothy 2:3-6)
4. A Multicultural Community
We celebrate the diversity of peoples meeting here who enjoy unity in the Lord Jesus Christ and so we strive to care for each person with respect to their culture. (John 3:16, Acts 6)
5. Discipleship
We strive to equip each believer to exercise his or her spiritual gifts and to fulfill their God-given ministry. (Ephesians 4:12, Matthew 28:18-20)
6. Servant Leadership
We seek leaders who are themselves devoted followers of Christ; leading by example and demonstrating the servant attitude of Jesus. (2 Timothy 2:2)
7. Family
We strive for a ministry that supports and builds up the family according to God’s design from creation, in order to produce committed husbands and wives, wise parents, godly children and devout singles. (Psalm 127)
8. Commitment
God has prepared good works for us to do. Therefore we strive to be faithful servants in the handling of our time, money and resources. (Galatians 6:9-10, 1 Corinthians 15:58, Matthew 25:21)
9. A Life of Humility and Joy
We believe God intends for the believers’ life to be one of humility and joy. The life of faith is to be enjoyed. (Psalm 131, Romans 8:28)
