WELCOME
TO AVC
In 2012 a group of people in Ancaster started a new church community. Our early days were spent gathering at the Coach & Lantern Pub in Ancaster Village. Our desire to love and serve the community of Ancaster was birthed in those early days and led us to put down our roots in the Village. These days we gather intentionally once a week in our new home at St Andrew's Presbyterian Church. We continue to try and figure out ways to serve this great community.
​
We're a smaller church comprised of all ages. We are a people learning to love Jesus more fully, who love others, who live on mission, who share our stories, who live God's kingdom, who are generous, who serve locally and globally, who value simplicity, and who laugh, play, cry, and live life together.
​
AVC's leadership team is comprised of women and men who are tasked with providing leadership, oversight, and administration for the church. We are currently supporting an emerging conversation with a new group of churches in Canada called The Good Table.
UPCOMING EVENTS
Sometimes we have our own things to which you're invited.
Sometimes we work collaboratively with others and cross promote.
And sometimes we support things that already exist.
No matter what, you can find them all listed here.
Our church has proudly been helping to make our community's annual festival an amazing event for everyone. Join us and all of Ancaster on Saturday June 7 for this year's Ancaster Heritage Days.
