Church and Fellowship

Church and Fellowship
As a church we understand the different levels of comfortability people have with attending in person, both from our regular attenders and our community. Much is available online, however, personal fellowship is still really important for all of us. We invite you to join us, according to your comfort level. If you want to preview one of our services, please check out our online services shown at the top of the website.
If you would like prayer or feel the need to talk to someone, we are here for you. Whether or not you have ever visited us in person, we want to support you. If you have any prayer requests, we have a dedicated group of people who are committed to pray over these concerns. If you would like a phone call from our Pastor or one of our elders, or if you would like to be included in any of our regular emails, please let us know. Please email our office using the contact us page, or by emailing office@livinghope.on.ca and let us know how we can help.
Worship Service Time, Location, and Parking

Each Sunday we gather for worship at 10:00 a.m. We’re located on the far east end of Lansdowne Street in the city of Peterborough, right between the OPP building and the Peterborough Humane Society shelter. Click here for a map. There are several parking spots reserved for guests, or you can park anywhere in our front or rear parking lots. Whichever door you enter, you’ll find people who can direct you once you’re in the facility.
Your First Visit

If it’s your first time here, you may want to arrive by 9:50 so that you have time to visit our “Welcome Booth,” ask any questions you might have, and orient yourself to our facility. If you have children, you may want to arrive even a few minutes earlier so that you have time to check your child into our well-staffed nursery or learn where your children’s classrooms are. Our greeters at each door and many others will be happy to help you any way they can!
Child Care and Programs

Sign in happens in the lobby before the service. All children begin the service with their families (minus the nursery babes – although they can join their families, too!).
- Little Lambs – newborn to 5 years
- Kings Kids – SK – Grade 2
- Adventure Kids – Grade 3 to Grade 5
All of our attendants, teachers, and helpers have been provided with adequate training to ensure a high quality experience for your children. All have also passed a police check and have agreed to our Safe Church policy. For more information on our children’s ministries and programs, click here.
Dress Comfortably

Feel free to dress casually as you join us for worship. We want you to be comfortable and to feel at home as you visit with us! You’ll find the music engaging, the message relevant, and the people friendly! We strive to be scent free; if you have a allergies, know that we are trying to create a comfortable environment for everyone
