Jesus. Family. City. Mission

Our Church

We want to be a church that, gathered or scattered, is a family of missionary servants with Jesus at the centre.

We gather on Sundays to sing, hear formative teaching from the Bible, confess, reflect, pray, take communion, give, and be re-sent out into the world for mission together.

All are welcome to join us, no matter where you are on your spiritual journey. There's a place for you!

We meet at 4:00 PM at The Martin Luther Church, 933 Smyth Rd.

Join Us on Sundays

We also scatter throughout the week into Going Deeper Groups, Family Gatherings, and various outreaches to those experiencing poverty, marginalization, and isolation in our community, including a Food Bank.

Loving God. Loving People.

Our Pillars

Jesus

Family

The City

We want to be a church that doesn’t fear, neglect, withdraw from, or merely tolerate the city, but that is a blessing to our communities and city. We want to be the very best neighbours and citizens, actively, tangibly, and sacrificially loving our neighbours, especially those experiencing poverty, hardship, and marginalization, and praying and working for the flourishing of our city at every level.

Mission

We believe Jesus is the hope of the world and we want to help people discover, know, believe in, and follow Him. We want to be a church that creates safe spaces where the secular, post-Christian, skeptical, religiously burned out, and cynical can explore the claims and teachings of Jesus and experience God and the power of the gospel. We also want to be a church that equips Jesus-followers for our culture to be gracious, humble, winsome disciplemakers where they live, work, and play; a church that makes disciples who make disciples.

What we Believe

Making Disciples.

Our Leaders

David and Diana felt called into ministry in 2008 as David was studying history and Diana was studying nursing. David really enjoys teaching the Bible and helping people to discover Jesus and make spiritual breakthroughs in their journey with Jesus. In 2012 David received his Master of Divinity from Tyndale Seminary in Toronto. For four years David was an itinerant preacher and he and Diana worked in Ottawa with the university/college students and young professionals at Rideaview Bible Chapel. During their time there they felt God leading them to a new adventure, to plant a missional church in the Alta Vista ward of southeast Ottawa where they live. David and Diana answered this call in the spring of 2016.
With the help of the C2C Network (now C2C Collective), a Canadian church planting network that has planted over a hundred churches with 20+ denominations, and Sequoia Community Church, a Jesus loving church in Barrhaven with a similar heart and vision, David and Diana and their team started planting Southeast City Church in August 2017, officially launching in September 2019. David and Diana are joined in this work by their three children, Micah, Leah and Jonah.

David is credentialed as a pastor with the Ontario Conference of Mennonite Brethren Churches.
