UCHURCH meets at the University of Calgary, Alberta, Canada. We are part of the Every Nation Ministries international family.
An evening Online with Frank Naea - January 24, 2024
You will fully enjoy this tour through the heart and journey of Frank Naea. “My journey in this whole revelation has been like going back to school again. If any man thinks they know something, they do not yet know as they ought to. This journey has not just been about learning something new; it has also been a journey of unlearning what I thought I knew. After 30 years of being in Youth With a Mission, youth pastoring and many other things I have done, you have a groove, a way of seeing and doing. I have realized I am still in process; Father is still fathering me in some places I did not know I needed fathering!”Franks opens up about this unlearning and relearning - it will open your heart more for your own adventure with grace, faith and Father.

Grace, Faith, and Adventure: Reimagining Spirituality with Helene King
When Helene speaks, it's as if history itself settles in for a chat. This remarkable nonagenarian, a mother many times over and a friend to the world, unpacks a treasure trove of experiences that promise to enrich and inspire. Her tales whisk you from the storied streets of Edinburgh to the natural splendor of Vancouver, and further still, to the welcoming shores of New Zealand. With every word, she weaves the essence of grace, faith, and the pure exhilaration of adventure through the generations she's touched. The wisdom of her years blossoms into an innovative approach to spirituality, resonating profoundly with the youth and reimagining church for the contemporary seeker.As we turn our gaze inward, the episode becomes a canvas for reimagining the Christian walk. It's a pilgrimage from the rigidity of religious structures to the transformative embrace of Christ's teachings, where the sacred is found in stillness and the gift of the present moment. We delve into the legacy of grace as the bedrock of existence, as Helene's voice urges us to see ourselves as part of a divine lineage, living in the now with hearts wide open to grace. And as we reflect on the eagle's biblical metaphor of soaring resilience, we are reminded of our own capacity for spiritual renewal. Helene's parting wisdom – to balance life's beauty with its trials – is a poignant reminder that it is within community and mutual upliftment that we truly find our wings.

Sunday with Mark Head - October 22 2023
It was a gift to have Mark Head with us for our family gathering in October. He shared the story of Joseph from the perspective that reveals the painful reality of a journey through the mess of rejection, betrayal, disappointment and battered hope. What happens when the dream we have been given is obscured by disappointment after disappointment and hope runs out; when we cry out, “If God is with us, then it shouldn’t be like this!”Mark shows us that just like Joseph, God is with us in the midst of tragedy; He is present and active.He sees you right now, He knows you right now, and He loves you right now. He is never far from you. We may even be able to relate with Joseph that “God has made me fruitful in the land of my suffering.”

Summer Fun with Frank Naea - August 20, 2023
We believe that this message from Frank Naea will be listened to many times. Frank served in YWAM as a teacher and base leader in New Zealand and the Pacific for 30 years, which included serving as the International President for over three years, but then life took a hard turn. Frank shares what happened, describing what he calls the most important and transformational reality in his life thus far. As you listen to the revealing journey God took him on, you will likely discover God has some incredible nuggets for you. Frank is a gifted communicator, authentic, humble and full of grace. Please note we had a wee challenge in the recording quality that evening, but the content will not disappoint.

Jesus in us strengthens our Spirit to withstand weakness and fills us with His glory to address our enemies within and without. This message outlines practical guidelines for strengthening your Spirit as you seek His face and allow the Holy Spirit to access your heart.

Light in the Darkness - Helene King
One of the greatest joys in our lives is having the opportunity to spend time with someone who has humbly journeyed through more things in life than we have been through ourselves. True eldership is a rare gift that comes from the realities of life’s journey, interwoven with the goodness of God, experienced over many decades.Helene King is one of these ‘gifts’. Most would refer to her as akin to being like a mother. She is well acquainted with the brokenness and pain of the human race, and as such, the love of God flows from her in real depth to all who come across her path. This message shared in October 2021 at a Fatherheart reunion impacted all of us listening - it will encourage and inspire you to the amazing truths yet to be discovered regardless of age.She reminds us that chronological age is but an adventure to discover what she calls her true age, “I’m nine on the inside.”

Family Gathering - June 20 2021: Marlin Giesbrecht
"What's in the space between the Truth that we believe in and the experience that we live in? And how do we close that gap that can seem like an impassable chasm? Intercession is the Key of the Kingdom that doesn't just bridge the gap, it actually brings truth and experience together.

Family Gathering - June 20 2021: Brant Reding
The real-time adventure of becoming a dad to children is undoubtedly one of the most challenging and rewarding adventures a man encounters in his life. If I was to meet the ‘younger me’, I would want to tell myself everything I have learned so far so that the younger me could be one step ahead of all that which I would face. That’s not possible of course, but we can pass along some of what we have learned to you younger men, so that you may be able to be a few steps ahead.
