Welcome to the Kemble-Sarawak
& Zion-Keppel Pastoral Charge
Open Doors, Open Hearts and Open Minds
WELCOME TO OUR CHURCH FAMILY
ABOUT OUR CHURCHES
Our charge is located 20 minutes north of Owen Sound, ON on the west side of the sound. Our 'backyard' is beautiful Georgian Bay, and many of our members live along the shore - we worship on the water at least once a year!
MEET OUR MINISTER
Cathy Hird grew up in southern Ontario, lived in Montreal, and then moved to Grey county where she has farmed and ministered since 1986.
OUR MINISTRIES
In both of our churches, there are gifted individuals and engaging groups that help us to live more deeply into our faith, who can inspire us, teach us, and move us to express ourselves in a variety of ways.
