A Discerning Community in Barrie, ON

Barrie is continuing to expand as a multicultural community, especially in the Southern parts of the city. Having lived in Barrie for two years with his wife and children, Alyas has witnessed the ever expanding cultural growth across this region. Along with Christianity, Islam and Hinduism are the most practiced religions of this region.

Under the leadership of Alyas Omeed, South Barrie Discerning Community has launched. As a former international missionary, Alyas brings experience working with diverse people groups, specifically those of Persian descent, and is now shifting his focus and leaning into discovering what ministry looks like in his home community. Over the coming months he will explore how God is already at work, and what partnering with Jesus looks like within this context.

Alyas is leading this emerging Discerning Community in partnership with Canadian Mosaic Christian Alliance and the Central District, and supported by the Network of Alliance Arabic Leaders, and Mission Toronto.
