Jesus’ love makes the difference

A festival shaped by practical love

We Believe in Simcoe is an annual two-day community festival. It exists to touch and bless individuals and families who live each day with financial, medical or other serious life struggles — and to bring the whole community together in celebration.

The celebration is free for everyone.

Why we do it

Love that can be seen and felt

We believe Jesus’ love is real, personal, caring, selfless, extravagant and amazing. His love is what we do, and why we do it. We know it, and want to show it.

We Believe in Simcoe is a project of Church Out Serving and is hosted entirely by volunteers.
