The ESL Ministry exists to welcome newcomers to Canada and help them build language skills, community, and confidence. Our heart is to share Christ’s love through both practical support and spiritual encouragement, offering a safe place where people from all backgrounds can learn English while experiencing Christian hospitality.

✅ Great for friendly, patient people who enjoy connecting with newcomers

✅ Perfect for those who love teaching, tutoring, or mentoring

✅ Ideal for those who want to show Christ’s love through practical service and conversation

✅ You don’t need to be a teacher by profession—just someone who enjoys helping others learn and feels comfortable with conversational English

ESL runs weekly on Mondays during the year (September–May). Classes typically run from 7-9pm, plus 15-20 minutes for clean-up.

✅ New teachers and assistant are paired with experienced volunteers when starting out

*Membership required for teachers (but not for assistants)*

✅ End-of-year volunteer appreciation event/Beginning-of-year planning meeting
