01What it does

What The Evangelical Covenant Church of Calgary does

Ongoing programs

Commons church provides multiple sunday services to the community along with a live online option. We facilitate groups that meet across the city for spiritual support and courses for the theological development that run out of our kensington facility. We also develop print and digital materials to help foster spiritual growth in our congregation. We maintain a community- supported food pantry available for neighbours and we support local and global organizations that work to close the gap between what is and what should be in the world. We continue our efforts to support refugee resettlement in the city.

As stated on its FY2024 T3010.

The organization over time

Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
