Greater Fort Erie consists of about 30,000 people, and only 10% of the population claim to attend church. Of those 3,000 people that say they attend church, 10% are disillusioned and have checked out of church altogether.
Greater Fort Erie is starting to grow and expand, in all age groups, and Todd and his wife Julie MacGregor have felt the call to plant a church in this growing and disillusioned community - to share the gospel and make disciples, one relationship at a time.
When asked why they are excited to partner with New Ventures, Todd responded, "Because we recognize that we need the help! In Ecclesiastes 4:9-10 we read that 'two are better than one ... for if they fall one will lift up his fellow.' It's in this context that that we are excited to be partnering with New Ventures and to learn from them. We believe that they have a great system that helps projects get off their feet and headed in the right direction."
