The members of the Pinawa Christian Fellowship, or PCF, are called together to be God's people, to grow in our relationship with Jesus Christ and to celebrate and proclaim God's presence within our church and in the community. We are a unique shared ministry officially recognized by the Anglican Church of Canada, Mennonite Church Manitoba, Presbyterian Church in Canada, and the United Church of Canada

We attempt to ensure that our Church Community is effectively meeting its obligations
to Jesus Christ,
to all of its members,
and to the wider community in which we live.

We value what we experience within our Christian Community and meet our obligations through
our ministry as people of God
our morning worship
our church school
our music
and the ecumenical diversity of our Fellowship.

In 1963, the Whiteshell Nuclear Research Establishment of Atomic Energy of Canada Limited was built in Pinawa, Manitoba, along with a new town site along the shores of the Winnipeg River , about 100 km east-northeast of Winnipeg Manitoba. PCF was founded in Deep River, Ontario, by some of the staff of Chalk River Laboratories as they prepared to move to the wilds of Manitoba. Since then PCF has grown, changed and prospered.

Our Ministry of Worship and Music

Meeting together each Sunday, to offer worship of praise and thanksgiving to God, is both duty and joy. We are led in worship by the Reverend Robert J. Murray. Inspirational music is provided by our organist, choir and congregational musicians. From time to time worship leadership is also provided by congregation members and our young people.

Our children are included in worship on Sunday mornings. There is a special story time just for them, and an activity during the sermon. With parental permission, they celebrate communion with us during the worship service.

Pastoral Care and Fellowship

In the PCF each person contributes to the ongoing care our congregation offers to those in our church family faced with difficulties, sickness, or grief. The PCF is represented on the Pastoral Care Committee of the Pinawa Hospital and provides visitors. Holy Communion is brought to those who cannot attend church.

Our Ministry of Christian Education

Growth in our knowledge of God and the Christian Faith is an important aspect of our congregational life together. The PCF offers educational opportunities for people of all ages. During the Fall and Winter programs for children are offered during worship. Bible study, Thursday chats in the Book Break, and Second Hour activities are offered at various times during the year. If you have an interest - let's talk about it!

Our Place of Worship

The Pinawa Christian Fellowship has never had a dedicated church sanctuary. Since 1963 we have rented space, as needed, for all congregational needs. Worship and Children's programs take place in the F.W. Gilbert School on the corner of Massey Avenue and McDiarmid Road in Pinawa. The minister's study and the church office are located in the Whiteshell Centre (same building as the Autopac and Sears outlet and "Book Break") on the corner of Vanier and Willis right across from the Marina.

Our Ministry in and Beyond Pinawa

The congregation supports the Pinawa Inter-faith Hamper committee and White Gift Sunday. We also contribute regularly to the Lac du Bonnet and area Foodbank, and to WICM, the Winnipeg Inner City Mission of the Presbyterian Church

Our primary avenue for support of Christian ministries in Canada and globally is through contributions to our parent denominations and their related service agencies.
