Ottawa River of Life Christian Church is a non-demoninational church serving the Greater Ottawa Area since 2009. We are open to all and welcome to you to join our weekly services and community events.
渥太华生命河灵粮堂于2009年9月成立。秉承母堂矽谷生命河灵粮堂的异象, 积极在21世纪建立神荣耀的教会。
Ottawa River of Life Christian Church, daughter church of River of Life Christian Church at Silicon Valley, was established under the leadership of Rev. Kevin Zhang in 2009, to fulfill the vision and mission from God to build a glorious church in the 21st century. This is a continuation of the vision and mission received by Rev. Tong Liu of our mother church and Rev. Zhao at Bread of Life Christian Church in Taiwan.
我们相信, 荣耀的教会始于每个人的生命。如此的全人建造有四个着力点: 敬拜赞美, 圣灵更新, 小组教会, 全地转化。 透过你我的生命, 神会赐下奇妙的改变与祝福, 散播在我们的家庭,小组,社区,以及万国万民中。
We believe that a glorious church begins with individuals’ lives. The development of all-rounded individuals depends on four major levers – Worship & Praise, Renewal by the Holy Spirit, Cell Church, and Glocal Transformation. God will send miraculous changes and blessings to our families, communities and nations through each of us.
我们相信神配受我们敬拜, 而我们心灵和诚实的敬拜也要触动神的心。在我们的敬拜赞美中, 神的宝座设立, 神的荣耀降临在我们当中。透过活泼的敬拜赞美, 我们的灵被提升到衪的面前,得以靠近衪的胸怀, 瞻仰衪的荣美, 聆听衪的心意。当神的荣耀在我们中间, 衪的能力荫庇我们, 就象云彩遮盖西乃山 (出24:1-17), 又象密云充满圣殿 (代下5:1-14), 我们的生命将不再一样!
我们相信透过圣灵的更新,我们能够扎根神的话语。圣道与圣灵并重, 使我们切实明白神的旨意, 顺服神的带领 (犹20) 。 圣灵分赐恩赐给门徒, 为要成全圣徒, 各尽其职, 建立基督的身体 (弗4:11-13)。同时, 圣灵的更新也帮助我们学习”凡事祷告”, 不单是为自己或别人的需要, 更是为神国度的复兴向神呼求 (腓4:5-7; 西4:2-3) 。
我们相信健康的小组能够建立门徒间切实的彼此相爱。小组要有因耶稣而来如家人般的爱, 才能彼此接纳, 彼此扶持 (罗15:7) 。 小组让基督徒与他人建立亲密相爱的团契关系,并将真理应用于日常生活中 (徒2:42) 。 小组也是生命影响生命的地方。这里提供门徒学习成长, 学习服事的环境, 建造信徒成为健康的门徒, 进而成为健康的领袖。健康的小组带来展翅上腾的健康教会。
我们相信福音当在本地和全地都带来转化。教会不应只是提供世人教义上的答案, 更应在社会各个层面彰显神的荣美 (西3:17) 。教会要与不同的群体连结, 并差遣门徒进入社区, 在经济,文化,教育,科技等方面带来影响。藉着我们的摆上, 人能够看见神国度的同在。
The building of a glorious church is not a slogan in vain. It is the channeling of blessings from God to more individual lives, families, work places, communities, ethnic groups, and even to the whole world. It is to make a difference in Ottawa, Canada, and beyond by the persistent hard work of Ottawa River of Life Christian Church. And all of these start with you and me.
Then the angel showed me the river of the water of life, bright as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb.
天使又指示我在城內街道當中一道生命水的河，明亮如水晶，從神和羔羊的寶座流出來。
