THE STREAM
The Stream is an urban ministry that serves folks on the margins who have forgotten who they are- sons and daughters of a Heavenly Father who loves them desperately! There are three weekly events that have wonderfully different flavors, but the same purpose.
​
Monday and Friday are the times where the ‘Streamers’ get to gather for various activities. ‘Streamers’ are folks who identify as a family that welcomes all who gather together for Friday nights, and other activities. While they face a number of physical, social, and spiritual challenges, the participation in Stream events focus on the identity as children of a God who loves them unconditionally.
These folks have regular access to set up meetings, receive discipleship, counseling, or advice on a Tuesday or Thursday with Mike and Anna-Marie.
“This is what we do full-time, and we love it - we love them! We feel God has put us into this place for such a time as this.”

The Stream
Friday
4:00pm -7:00pm
The Friday night Stream event is set with a casual, coffeehouse vibe.. Participants (aka "Streamers") enjoy a safe, honoring environment where they can enjoy healthy community, a place to share needs, and receive encouragement from the Word, as well as a delicious home-cooked meal from caring church partners.

Join us at The River Community Church in Unit#14 - 33550 South Fraser Way in Abbotsford.
Art Experience
Monday
11:00am - 2pm
Art Experience is a creative expression open to our Streamers, and allows them to spend time creating beautiful art pieces. Creativity is a natural part of our DNA, and we offer the tools/skills and direction to access that for people who regularly cannot.

We are currently meeting in Unit 3 - 33550 South Fraser Way.
Bible Studies
Tuesday
9:30am - 11:30am
Our Tuesday Morning Bible Studies is focused on showing the participants more information about scripture than just the words on the page:
-How do I read the bible?
-Who’s writing the passage?
-What’s important to know?
-What’s the overarching message or story of scripture?
Think of it as putting a driving manual into the hands of drivers, so they can use the road well.

We are meeting at Unit 3 - 33550 South Fraser Way.
Lunch and Learn
Tuesday
11:30am - 2pm
After our Tuesday Morning Bible Studies, we have an opportunity to have lunch together and then to dive into a relevant topic with meaningful social and personal impacts and teaching.

We are currently working through 'Unoffendable" by Brant Hanson.
