Prison Fellowship of Canada

Church Underground has a heart to reach the hard-to-reach … including those who have been behind prison bars. It’s the desire of the church to break down the stereotypes associated with those incarcerated and reach them with the power and grace of the love of God.

Our desire is for God’s Word and His people to embrace prisoners being released from prison bars and help them find hope and change in the chain-breaking power of God’s presence.

Church Underground does this by leading a Prison AfterCare Program and an AngelTree Program.

The AfterCare Program walks with those who have been in Prison. We walk with them in relationship, one-on-one, to help them grow in their discipleship.

The AngelTree program is where we embrace the children of those with an incarcerated parent and sponsor their Chritmas with gifts on behalf of the incarcerated parent. This ministry brings smiles back to the faces of the children and hope to build the relationship with their parent.

You can help break down the chains and transform prisoners in the grace of God today. Click here to get involved in the AfterCare Program or the AngeTree Christmas Program.

Sexual Abuse and Human Trafficking Support

Did you know that 90% of those trafficked in Canada are Canadians? 

Human Trafficking hits close to home. So close it could be your family member, neighbor, coworker, or friend. 

If we could put some stats here for Human Trafficking in Canada. $150Billion dollar industry globally. Others are lured by traffickers at school. Many of them know the perpetrators who keep them isolated and dependent on them. Vulnerable girls are being trafficked. 

Church Underground has partnered with BreakFree and The Salvation Army’s International and Territorial Fight For Freedom to join the fight against human trafficking. 

You can get involved in the fight too! Click here to be a part of our team today! 

Church Underground Metal

It’s Evangelism that puts us in front of an audience of the unreached by using our giftings in Meal Music.

The Bible tells us to go to the highways and the hedges and that’s what we’re doing … in the bars and clubs in the Ontario area through heavy music and outreach.

We are looking to encourage musicians from within the church to write music that transforms culture. The church can influence culture through music, be it hip-hop, rock, pop or metal music or EDM music.

If you have a talent that God has blessed you with, we want you to explore and help you use it for Kingdom purposes and impact CULTURE!

Church Planting

80 percent of the pastors are above the age of 65 and do not plan to give up leadership to young people. Millennials are increasingly averse to Pastoral roles due to various reasons, including abuse, scams, power, etc.

We are developing everyday people who live the gospel and exalt Jesus in their day-to-day lies in the marketplace and also lead a home church / church plant.

We need to reach the next generation of Ge-zs and Alphas through living an authentic lifestyle, totally dependent on the Holy Spirit.
