Sunday School for All ages at 9:30am • Sunday Worship at 10:30 am

November 2023 - Peoples Church is currently in the process of seeking to fill the role of Senior Pastor.

About Us: 

Peoples Church of Sarnia-Lambton is unique in many ways as we are located in rural Lambton County and Christians come from various communities within the region to worship together. Those who come to Peoples Church want to be here; there is a commitment required because of distance and geography. Coming from many areas and backgrounds, God has given us a rich diversity of people who are united in our determination to give God glory and who through the Spirit and Word are determined to make a difference for His Kingdom. God has granted to this congregation of approx. 350 a good understanding of the difference between Biblical precepts and personal preferences. Here we will stand on the Word of God and grow in faith and the knowledge of God.

Peoples Church is part of the Associated Gospel Churches of Canada, and is an elder-led church, committed to Christ-centered worship and Christ-centered preaching of the Word of God. We believe in the Bible’s authority over our lives. Our heart’s desire is to help our flock pursue holiness, righteousness, grace, hope, and love.

Our pastors are fellow elders with other men whom God has raised up to provide the spiritual leadership and oversight as God has ordained and we are currently looking for a qualified, experienced, and teachable man to join our elder team as a Senior Pastor.
