Christ Church Mosaic Community Seeking Students for 23/24 Academic Year

The former rectory next door to the Parish of Christ Church, Edmonton is now home to Christ Church Mosaic, formerly known as Ascension House. Christ Church Mosaic provides affordable housing to six Christian students from Canada and around the world over the course of the school year. But Christ Church Mosaic is much more than just affordable student housing: it is also an intentional Christian community where young adults live out their faith and their lives together, in an inclusive and welcoming environment, with the support of Christ Church parish.

The change of name, in 2023, from Ascension House to Christ Church Mosaic was done to acknowledge the close connections between this small Christian community and the next-door church, and also to recognise its inclusive and welcoming nature.

Each student residing at Christ Church Mosaic has their own bedroom, with a shared kitchen, laundry room, washrooms and recreation areas. The young Christian adults of Christ Church Mosaic work together to determine a “rule of life” which shapes their experience together over the school year. This shared experience of faith informs the spiritual journey of each member of the Christ Church Mosaic community.

A group of dedicated volunteers from the Christ Church parish meets with Christ Church Mosaic community members a couple of times monthly for such activities as sharing a meal, praying together, or doing a Bible study. Christ Church Mosaic community members are invited to participate in the life and worship of the parish, but are not required to do so.
