We are BeLoved!

Kingdom Builders is an opportunity for us to share how your investment is making a difference here in Nanaimo and around the world. It's also where we can share with you some of the things we are dreaming about. In everything we do we want to remember what we're called to, and that is to lead people to know God, find freedom, discover purpose, and make a difference.

We have never been more excited about the future of BeLoved! Revival is activated in us as we surrender to God and let His power and presence change us from the inside out. Because of this, we are witnesses of God doing incredible things in and through our church, in our city, and around the world.

We love you BeLoved City Church and we truly believe our best days are ahead! Come jump into the adventure of building God's church with us.

Love,
Pastors Chris and Angela

Here to Stay

BeLoved City Church is here to stay. We are committed to playing our part in contributing to the needs of our City of Nanaimo by investing into a permanent facility. 

All around us we see people experiencing isolation, polarization, and disconnect. Having our own facility will play an important role in bringing people together, gives stability, and is a witness to the goodness of God. We vision a place to call home where people are equipped to serve our community. We want to be intentional in how we create environments for people to experience Jesus and His church. 

Our starting goal is to raise $100,000 by May 2024. We know that as we begin to sow in faith, God will provide and lead us towards opportunites for a permanent space to facilitate the work of the good news of Jesus in our community. 

Enlarge your house; build an addition. Spread out your home, and spare no expense! For you will soon be bursting at the seams. Your descendants will occupy other nations and resettle ruined cities. Isaiah 54:2-3 NLT

Route 99

Public bus routes in Nanaimo aren't always easily accessed in getting around the city to and from our services on Sundays. Route 99 is our way of responding. The BeLoved bus drives a route every Sunday providing rides for people from around our city.

The name Route 99 comes from Jesus' parable of the lost sheep where the Shepherd leaves the 99 to search for the one lost sheep. The add-on to the story is we are the 99 ready to receive the one. God's Kingdom is accessible to all, even those who have strayed away. The BeLoved bus is just another one of those ways to provide access to God's Kingdom for one more person.

BeLovedU

City Groups

Here's how we serve into our local neighborhoods. City Groups are intentional to find a need and fill it, and find a hurt and heal it. We also have fun doing it together!
