Who are we?
We are a small, gritty, entrepreneurial community of faith committed to serving the unhoused and under-housed people of Niagara Falls. We’ve had a mission presence on Queen Street since 2014.
In 2018, we founded Third Space Café, a not-for-profit social enterprise café. Together, we serve 50-75 warm, nutritious breakfasts each day, seven days a week, to the beautiful people of our city—our neighbors living on the street, in tents, doorways, abandoned spaces, under-serviced motels, and in overnight municipal shelters.
To better meet the needs of our friends on the streets, we are committed to having a working relationship with our city, region, and every available support service in Niagara Falls.
OUR MISSION
We believe every person is created in the image of God and is inherently worthy of dignity and respect.
Jesus lived in a way that reflected deep care and compassion for underprivileged and pushed-away people. This is what prompts our mission and vision as we seek to embody and live out God’s love for the poor.
For this reason, we make a prioritized effort to know the names of our guests, welcoming each person when they walk through our doors.
OUR PARTNERS
What makes this mission possible?
The grace of God, and the generosity of many. It’s as simple as that.
We are thankful for opportunities to partner with other faith communities, businesses, individuals, and families who have a heart for people experiencing homelessness, and compassion for the issues connected to it.
Want to join us?
We typically meet at the Bridge Church located at 4349 Queen St in Niagara Falls on Sunday mornings at 10 am. But because we are a small group, we will sometimes meet off site. We love for you to join us, so if you are planning to join us, please email Pastor Steve steve@thebridgenf.ca or admin@thebridgenf.ca. to confirm where we are meeting.
