Coffee and Conversation
Mad Rona's Coffee Bar has become our regular spot to connect with people in the community. Each Friday, we pray for God’s guidance and look for opportunities to engage in meaningful conversations. Through simple acts like buying coffee or breakfast, we share God’s love and build relationships. As trust grows, we've even welcomed some individuals into our home for a meal, deepening those connections.
Bible Study
Many women have experienced deep trauma and are seeking healing and hope. The Bible study on the Five Women in Jesus’ genealogy offers a gentle path toward restoration by showing how God worked through the lives of these remarkable women. Their stories point to Jesus as the ultimate source of healing. To support this ministry on Gabriola, you can purchase a copy of the study—just click on the photo below. All proceeds go directly to the Bible study outreach.
Music Ministry
Once a month on Sundays, Ron leads worship by leading the singing and by playing the cajon or guitar. He’s also training others to lead, teaching worship fundamentals, and using his sound engineering skills to support visiting teams. By blending familiar songs with new music, each worship team is helping guide the congregation into Spirit-led praise with their own unique sound.
Our Ministries
Ron & Gloria
Alpha Canada
We are excited to launch an Alpha Group in Gabriola, inspired by the vision of Alpha Canada. Partnering with local Christians from Gabriola Fellowship Church and with Gloria, we've created a warm, welcoming space—including a full dinner—for open discussion and spiritual growth. Alpha is a globally used program that helps people from all backgrounds explore the Christian faith in a supportive environment. We invite you to join us in financially supporing this meaningful 16-week outreach journey.
Gloria
Complex Trauma Coach
“Trauma is not what happens to you, but what happens inside you.” – Gabor Maté.
As a Chaplain and trained coach, Gloria is committed to creating a safe, respectful, and compassionate space for healing. Her approach addresses the biological, psychological, social, and spiritual effects of complex trauma, helping individuals find freedom and equipping them with tools to navigate future challenges—especially those related to addiction, trauma, and relational or spiritual brokenness.
Partnership: Youth for Christ
Gabriola Island currently has no Christ-centered youth group, despite having over 700 young people. Seeing the need, Ron and Gloria have partnered with Youth for Christ and the local church to bring hope to local youth and their families. Their goal, to create a welcoming space where teens can belong, grow, and discover that they are deeply loved by God, has now been accomplished. Starting October 2025, investing in the next generation, has begun. Will you join them by supporting Margaret, YFC's Gabriola Youth Leader?
