Who is ExpressionsEXpressions is a Christian small group movement in SE Calgary who’s mission is Seeking Expressions of Jesus as Lord in Life and Community.

This mission is greatly connected to the belief that Jesus is calling all of us to answer the question of “Who do you say that I am?” (Matt. 16:13-20) The answers to which we give are not so much in the words we share or the spoken statements we make but rather shown in the lives we live and the community which we journey with.

We live out this mission through five values:
