Why Winnipeg
The Opportunities
Population: 749,607 (2021)
Details: Located in the heart of Canada
People: Diverse, welcoming and friendly
Motto: One with the strength of many
Slogan: Made from what’s Real.
Winnipeg has relatively affordable homes and lower cost of living. A city rich in history, attractions and accessibility to nature. A family hub where many call home and come to unite with their families.
Why Winnipeg
The need
Hub of commerce and still the gateway to the west
According to the city of Winnipeg annual population growth report by Winnipeg census metropolitan area (CMA), Winnipeg is forecast to increase population by about 9,200 people in 2013 to 9,500 people annually till 2035 by people migrating to call Winnipeg home, these people will not only need houses they will need a church.
Why Winnipeg
The Brokenness
Based on the 2021 census,
36.7% reported no religious affiliation.
Meaning more than 1 out of every 3 people don’t have a religion. Canadian Institute for Health Information (CIHI) reported that Manitoba saw a higher proportion of youth mental health hospitalized during the pandemic compared to the years before. Their data shows that in 2019, a total of 7,487 children and youth were hospitalized for all types of conditions and in 2020 a total of 7,702 children and youth were hospitalized for mental health disorders. The church can help give hope, foster love and care in the community.
Also based on the 2021 census report and an article on Winnipeg Free Press, 53.3% of Canadians identified as Christians. This is down from 67.3% in 2011 and 77.1% in 2001. Of those who identify as Christians, about 30 per cent are Catholic (down from 39 per cent in 2011)
Meaning there are some decline in Christianity, COVID-19 also didn’t help some churches as they had to close down and involvement of the Church in the Residential school system, sex scandals, family breakups, parents and grandparents not taking their kids to church.
This trend as got to stop, there is a need for revival in the city, the days of God’s power when God’s people will be willing to do His will.

Meet Our pastors
Victor & Ronke Taiwo
Victor & Ronke have been called of God to launch and lead a visionary Church that brings the rich and satisfying life of Jesus Christ to all people in a way that engages them, equip them, and empower them to lead others to Jesus.
Victor and Ronke met in 2008 and have been happily married since 2009. They have chased after God’s calling in ministry together ever since. They believe the local church is God's provision to bring the lonely into family and the local church is the hope of Christ to disciple the world.
Victor and Ronke have spent 10 years leading and serving as Pastors in the local church ministry in Nigeria.
They moved to Winnipeg in response to Gods call to launch God’s Family Church in 2019.
Victor & Ronke loves it here in Winnipeg and believe that God has sent them here for such a time as this, they believe there is a revival coming to Winnipeg and are happy to work together and labor with already existing pastors, leaders and churches in Winnipeg to pray God's kingdom to come and His will be done.
Victor and Ronke's love and empathy for people, drives them to pray for people in Winnipeg and lead them to Jesus, make disciples them with the goal of helping them grow to maturity in Christ and make heaven.
Victor and Ronke loves hanging out at restaurants, sports events and watching movies together with their kids, Ini, Ife, Ire and Ere.
