About Spur Ottawa
Spur Ottawa strives to tell the story of the broader Body of Christ in the Ottawa region.
Our goal is to promote unity and foster collaboration by telling stories that will “spur believers on” to exalt Christ and pursue His kingdom together. God is at work in our city! By sharing the stories of what He is doing and how His people are serving, we hope to encourage the Body, help connect like-minded individuals, and advance the work of the gospel.
Our prayer is that Spur Ottawa will be an outlet to help you fulfill the words of Hebrews 10:24, “Let us consider how to spur one another on to love and to good works.”
Who is involved?
Spur Ottawa was birthed out of a shared vision between Love Ottawa, a division of One Way Ministries, and Craig Macartney, a local Christian journalist who has been nominated for two Canada Church Press Awards. The team has grown to include members of Love Ottawa, various ministry leaders, a group of independent writers from the Ottawa area…and now you, our readers. By reading these stories and sharing them in your own circle, you can help spread the word of what God is up to and how we can all be engaged.

Also, is the church prepared for when MAiD gets extended to those with depression next year? I ordered flyers from this Christian site (https://carenotkill.ca/) and am handing them out in my neighborhood to raise awareness.
Do you offer a Clown Ministry ? I saw a book about that approach.
How do we go about getting involved with the ministry? I have a lifetime of street knowledge, came from a history of sexual and physical abuse, in and out of jail, near death experiences on the street and 12 years of service in the Canadian Armed forces, recently within the last couple years I have reached out my hand to Christ who I know was there for me all along! I was a have to learn the hard way guy. I learned the hard way. Lifetime of hell/ near suicide attempts and walked with the devil for a lot of years. Being a born again Christian at the age of 37 I wish I knew then or perhaps listened to the Lord that showed me multiple times it was time to get out of the darkness I was making myself suffer bc of the abuses and because of drugs alcohol and other problems. After giving my life to Christ and surrendering to Christ and being born again my life has turned completely around. I am walking as a Christian with FAITH FAR AND WIDE WITHIN ME and experiences that I believe GOD allowed me to go through on my own accord always being close! Close enough so I couldn't leave this world unsaved GLORY TO GOD. I know now its time to give back, it's a calling! I would like to get involved let's through Christ turn these prisons around and allow these people to leave the jails, prisons and centers with a new spirit in CHRIST! How do I get involved?
