Who Are We?
The Embrace Center is located at 14 Jarvis Street in Fort Erie. Our mission is to reach out to the local communities and provide a safe space for discussion, faith exploration, and sometimes just a warm place to sit. During drop-in hours, anyone can stop by to talk to Rev. Bill, who is available to discuss almost any topic, ranging from the LGBTQ+ community to Batman's latest comic issue.
We embrace our mission, and our community, by having the kettle always ready to make a cup of tea and providing a wide range of supplies that people may need to get them through to the next pay day. Supplies such as toothpaste, shampoo, feminine hygiene products, etc. If you or someone you know may need supplies like this, feel free to stop by during the drop-in hours, or contact Rev. Bill at rev.bill.thomas@gmail.com.
Along with our drop-in hours, we have a range of programming that is offered out of our location. Programs range in subject matter but include our Food For The Body (And For The Soul), Creative Spirit group and Youth Group.
To stay up to date with what's happening each week, sign up for our e-blast by emailing sjsprograms@gmail.com, or checking our facebook page to see what's been posted!

What's over here?
240 Jarvis Street is full of many wonders, programs, items, and more! So let us take a moment and see some different parts of our community space!
Right now, we're still moving in! Our organizing is a work in progress, and so we don't have anywhere fun to show you. But check back soon, I promise there will be something to see soon!
