What to Expect at BMC
Come as you are. Everyone is welcome.
Whether it’s your first time at church or you’ve been attending for years, we’re glad you’re here. At Breslau Mennonite Church, you’ll find a relaxed and welcoming space to connect with God, connect with others, and be part of a caring community.
When should I arrive?
We gather every Sunday at 9:45 AM.
You’re welcome to come a few minutes early or right as the service begins.
What happens when I arrive?
You’ll be greeted at the entrance by friendly faces who can guide you to where to put your coats and where to find the sanctuary, our worship space. We want you to feel comfortable and at home from the moment you arrive.
What should I wear?
Come as you are.
Some people dress casually, while others dress a bit more formally. Wear whatever feels comfortable for you.
What is the worship service like?
When you enter the sanctuary, you’ll be greeted by an usher and given a bulletin that outlines the order of service, so it’s easy to follow along. You’ll also find hymn books in the pews if you’d like to join in the singing.
You can expect:
Music and singing
Prayer and reflection
A message that connects faith with everyday life
In worship we seek to deepen our faith, encourage one another, and carry Christ’s peace into our daily lives.

During the service, an offering plate is passed as part of our worship. If you’re visiting, please know there’s no expectation to give—your presence with us is what matters most. You’re welcome to participate if you feel comfortable.

Yes. Male, female, and all-gender accessible washrooms are adjacent to the foyer. Just ask if you need help finding them.
What happens after the service?
After the service, you’re invited to stay for coffee and juice in the gym.
It’s a simple, relaxed time to meet others and build community.
