In addition to our Sunday services, the spirituality group meets to explore a range of practices that nourish the spirit including meditation, meditative movement, poetry, short familiar chants and blessings.
Bathurst usually has two retreats: one over a weekend at Crieff Hills in the spring and a one-day event in November at Friends House in Toronto.

Caring for One Another
The Pastoral Care Committee meets monthly to review the needs of the congregation and to provide members with support and referral based on those needs.
Bathurst has a conflict resolution process to support a safe community in which each person is treated with respect and dignity.

Anti-Racism
The Anti-racism/Anti-oppression committee meets to reflect on how the forces of racism and oppression in Canadian society affect society, the Bathurst community, and our daily lives.

Youth and Parenting
The youth group meets regularly to have exciting discussions about what it means to be a young person in this time and place. In past years, members of the group have joined study tours with youth from neighbouring churches.
The parenting group offers a space for parents to socialize and discuss the challenges of parenting.
