Who are we?:
River East MB Church is a community of people who worship God together and support each other in practical ways. It is a church where people are accepted the way they are. It is a place where people can bring questions, explore the Bible and life issues together with others and participate in a variety of ways in the life of the church community—singing, teaching, ushering, doing drama, leading worship and other forms of service inside and outside the church.
We are a place where:
- We want to discover, develop and benefit from all the gifts and abilities that people bring to the church community.
- We value the participation of every person as we make decisions about issues that concern the life of the church.
- People can grapple with the pressing issues facing us today—unemployment, domestic and other forms of violence, crime, family life—as well as celebrate the many things that brings us joy.
- People can receive care and support during their times of difficulty and pain.
- People can share the love of Christ for the world by reaching out to meet the spiritual, physical and emotional needs of the surrounding community.
What do we believe?:
River East MB Church is rooted in the Anabaptist/Mennonite faith, which, since its beginning, has emphasized following Jesus Christ in daily life, identification with and commitment to a local congregation and commitment to peace and service to others. The church is a member of the Canadian Conference of Mennonite Brethren Churches.
What do we do?:
Sunday morning worship service brings us together weekly. We offer Sunday school for all ages, and all of us have the opportunity to participate in small groups, which meet regularly for friendship and support. We offer parenting seminars and operate a summer day camp program. And we have a seniors group, too. Click here for more details about what we do here at River East on Sunday mornings.

Gerry Derksen, Pastor
I’ve lived in lots of different places – Congo, Canada, Germany, USA, France, Belgium, Lithuania. These days my life is more settled, but my spiritual journeying hasn’t stopped. Just when I think I’m stuck, I discover that God’s Spirit is edging me on again. As a pastor, I want others to make that same discovery – even as we also discern where God is edging us as a church. more…
Mary Anne Isaak, Pastor
For me, being a pastor is a little like watercolor painting. The Scriptures fire my imagination of what the kingdom of God can look like in our congregation. Sketching out the picture comes through conversations and careful planning. more…
Sara Jane Schmidt, Pastor of Worship
I’ve been a music lover all my life and began piano lessons at age 7. Music studies over
the years centered around piano playing and choral singing/conducting. For me, music is a
gift from God and performing or listening to music can reach and touch us at a deep level, more…
Gilbert Brandt, Coordinator for Older Adult Ministries
Years ago, as an instructor at Bethany College, Hepburn, SK, I taught a course in educational psychology which included a study of the human life cycle. Little did I think then that the theory about older adults would become reality for me and in my ministry. more…
