Since 1929 Faith City Church has been serving the people of Halifax and all who settle here from other parts of Canada and the world. We work hard to be a multi-facetted church so that anyone can find Christ and spiritual community. We are committed to fulfilling the great commission and remain faithful to the vision that God has entrusted to our local church.
Faith City Church is where everyone is welcome to find their place in Christ. Here, your story matters. Working to fulfill the Great Commission we pray for lives transformed by Jesus, for hearts lifted in worship, and for disciples sent —bringing God’s love to our city and to the world.
We now live lives of worship—
experiencing God’s presence made real by the Holy Spirit,
sharing the gospel with our community,
and discipling one another to be like Jesus.
(2 Corinthians 5:17; Philippians 2:10)
Having experienced the saving grace of God, we now journey towards becoming more like Jesus Christ by the power of the Holy Spirit. This journey informs our values and us to conform to Gods will.
1. Worship
(Romans 12:1-2; Ephesians 2:10; Proverbs 1:5)
We worship God with all we are through our work, creativity, learning, prayer, songs, generosity, and service. Worship never ends; it is the offering of our whole lives to God.
2. Discipleship
(Matthew 28:19-20; Philippians 3:13-14)
Discipleship is a lifelong journey. We are called to be discipled and to disciple others, growing in faith while empowering one another to live out our God-given purpose.
3. Sent
(Mark 16:15; John 20:21; Acts 1:8)
Jesus was sent and now He sends us. We go where He leads—loving people, serving our community, and carrying the gospel to the world with compassion and courage.
At Faith City Church we unequivocally stand against racism. The gospel of Jesus Christ is a message of hope and inclusion for all people everywhere. We are committed to being anti-racist and following the example of Christ in loving and serving all.
We understand racism shows itself in many forms and we stand against it in all forms.
Racism, which is seen as any conduct or comment which causes humiliation to an employee, volunteer, or any member of our community because of their racial or ethnic background, colour, place of birth, citizenship, or ancestry; will not be tolerated.
Examples of conduct that may be racial or ethnic harassment include (but are not limited to):
- Unwelcome remarks, jokes, or innuendos about a person’s racial or ethnic origin, colour, place of birth, citizenship, or ancestry.
- Displaying racist or derogatory pictures or other offensive material.
- Insulting gestures or practical jokes based on racial or ethnic grounds which create awkwardness or embarrassment.
- Refusing to speak to or work with someone or treating someone differently because of their ethnic or racial background.
Faith City Church is intent on being engaged in the ministry of reconciliation (2 Corinthians 5:16-21). This involves listening and being solution-oriented when addressing racism in our church, our city, and beyond. Together, by God’s grace, we can build a stronger, healthier society for future generations regardless of race or ethnic origin.
At Faith City Church, we are committed to fostering an environment where every individual feels safe, respected, and valued. This extends to both our congregants and employees, ensuring that our church remains a place where mutual respect and kindness are upheld in every interaction.
Faith City Church has a policy in place against harassment and intimidation of any kind. This policy applies to all employees, members, volunteers, and any other individuals both inside and outside the church community. We will not tolerate any behavior that compromises the safety and dignity of others, and we are dedicated to addressing any concerns that may arise to maintain a healthy and welcoming space for everyone.
Faith City Church acknowledges that we gather and worship in Mi’kma’ki, the ancestral and unceded territory of the Mi’kmaq People.
We honour the Treaties of Peace and Friendship, which recognize the inherent rights of the Mi’kmaq and continue to guide how we live and relate to one another today. We recognize the deep and enduring connection of the Mi’kmaq to this land, and we commit to learning, listening, and walking the path of reconciliation as treaty people.
We also acknowledge the histories, contributions, and resilience of African Nova Scotians, whose presence and legacy are an important part of this region.

Below you will find the beliefs we hold as foundational to our faith. These beliefs are held by all Christians, unifying us under the name of Jesus.
Jesus Christ is at the center of everything. We believe that Jesus is the only one who can reconcile us to God. He lived a sinless and exemplary life, died on the cross in our place, and rose again to prove His victory and empower us for life. We believe that Jesus Christ is coming back again as He promised.
We believe in one eternal God who is the Creator of all things. He exists in three Persons; God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. He is totally loving and completely holy.
We believe that the Bible is God’s Word. It is accurate, authoritative, and applicable to our everyday lives.
Because Jesus paid the ultimate price for our sins when He died on the cross, anyone who asks for forgiveness of their sins can receive it. He paid the price, so salvation is free for those who recognize and confess that Jesus is Lord. Anyone who repents and believes in Jesus is given the gift of eternal life.
We believe the baptism of the Holy Spirit is still available for the church today – just as we read about in Acts 2:4. This Spirit baptism empowers and equips believers to continue the ministry of Jesus with boldness and authority. Operating in spiritual gifts helps to point people towards a clearer understanding of God.
Water Baptism is a public statement to others that you are choosing to let your old life go and allowing God to make you new. It is a symbolic and obedient act that an individual chooses when they are old enough to make their own decisions. They have buried their old life and have been born again.
