PLAN YOUR VISIT FORM: [contact-form-7]Welcome Students!
If you’re a student studying at Wilfrid Laurier University or UW – the City of Waterloo has put together a page full of information for students moving to Waterloo this coming weekend. Click the banner above to find out more.
If you are a student looking for a church in Kitchener Waterloo, we invite you to try out Lamplight Church for size. We are a young church with a passion for reaching the lost for Christ – extending His Kingdom of grace, hope and joy to all.
We don’t believe that students should be separated from the body of the local church.
Instead we believe students have much to offer the local church, and can benefit from being in community with those at different ages and stages of their Christian walk.
If you’re interested in being part of a newer church with a passion for Jesus, then feel free to come and check us out any Sunday.
Our students page has details of what you can expect as part of Lamplight Church, if you have any questions or need a ride to church on Sunday, please don’t hesitate to contact us.

Mothers Day Brunch at Lamplight Church
Our Brunch Sundays are a time to gather, get to know one another better, build community and share some great tasting home-cooked food.
We hope you will join us this Sunday.
Street Level Launch
This Sunday, March 30th we will be launching Street Level for 2014.
Immediately after the service (once everything is packed away) we will head Downtown Kitchener, maybe grab a bite to eat at Pizza Pizza by City Hall.
Once we are Downtown we will split into pairs or groups of 3 to walk different streets, offering Hot Chocolate and Prayer to the people we meet. This could take up to an hour, or shorter or longer depending on who you meet!
The purpose of Street Level is to be a visible Christian presence, offering people prayer and conversation on the streets. All are welcome to join in, the only qualifications are that we do this in love and out of obedience to Christ.

New Connect Groups
Starting the week of January 6th 2014, we have a new Connect Group structure at Lamplight Church.
We have two new connect groups starting; one hosted by Mark & Sherry Elkins (Tuesdays) and one hosted by Brenton & Jac Horne (Thursdays). Dates up until March 2014 are now posted on our calendar page.
You are free to choose the night that suits your situation the best.
Both groups will start at 8pm and both will have a similar emphasis on community, discipleship and mission.
Both groups will meet every other week, unless otherwise posted.
On the alternate week we will gather together for a time of prayer and worship, these evenings will also be used to share church family news and to explore more of the values we hold as a new church.
All are welcome to come along – no matter what stage you’re at on your walk with Christ!
Sunday Meeting Cancelled
Like many of you, we have been tracking the potential for the approaching ice storm arriving this evening / overnight in our region.
We have taken the decision to CANCEL our morning meeting as a safety precaution. Please enjoy the sleeep-in, stay warm and safe!
IF the weather is not as bad as currently anticipated we will likely arrange an evening get-together. Details will be posted here.
