RAISE THE ROOF!
We need a new roof!
Everything that happens (or is waiting to happen!) under this leaky roof is in jeopardy. Since this is a Community space, we are asking for community support in keeping this building in good repair for generations to come, keeping out of the hands of developers and open for more awesome things.
Our fundraising target for a new roof is $150,000
(BONUS if we can raise an extra $30,000 for solar panels!)
How to donate!
All donations over $20 will receive a tax receipt at the end of the year.
Donations over $1,000 will receive a spot on our Gratitude Wall (plaque) and social media mentions (as requested) including businesses.
Donations $5,000 and over will get a larger spot on the Gratitude Wall and donations $20,000+ get the top spot, extra media and social media attention and much community adulation!
Donations can be made by
cheque (payable to Weird Church) dropped off or mailed in (PO Box 644)

How are we going to do it?
Concerts! Fundraisers! Ask your wealthy neighbours! Got an idea? Let’s hear it! Please check out our Events Page to stay tuned for upcoming details.
What comes next?
After the roof is complete we have other ideas too!
We need to replace the broken panes of glass and add a layer to each window to reduce heat loss in the winter, therefore reducing our carbon footprint.
The louvres in the bell tower and the window frames need some carpentry repairs and painting.
The inside and outside of the building need some repairs and paint.
We hope to return the ceiling of the church to it’s original light blue!
What is already in the works?
Work is scheduled for September 2026 - let’s get all the funds raised before construction starts!
Where Are We?
As of November 2025 we have hit the $36,000 mark in donations and committed funds.
