I just got a tip that the police may be on their way to arrest me. Why? I continue to lead our church to worship Jesus as Lord over every earthly power.
More to come... Pray brothers and sisters. Stand firm, keep the faith.

- I was found not guilty today on two health charges that were tried last month. In total, 5 health tickets withdrawn, 1 criminal charge withdrawn, 1 contempt charge withdrawn, and now acquitted on these two counts. But I still spent 21 days in jail.
- Replying to @tim__stephensThis is vindication, not only for me, but vindication that the government grossly abused their power. In all of this, I rejoice since the gospel of Jesus Christ went forth in power, and Christ built his church. All glory to God!
- Thanks for all the prayers and support while I was imprisoned! I'm looking forward to being in the pulpit this Sunday to preach from Matthew 10 on the worthiness of Christ as we follow him in the face of opposition.
- As I head into another weekend facing threats of arrest for leading my church to gather in worship... I believe a clear conscience is a more desirable than staying clear of unpleasant consequences.
- Thankful for your prayers for me, my family, and church. The contempt charge that sent me to jail has completely been dropped!Justice Centre BREAKING NEWS: AHS drops contempt of court proceedings against Pastor Tim Stephens jccf.ca/ahs-drops-cont…
- AHS seized our building! Fines, injunctions, imprisonment, and seizure of property will only demonstrate the folly of their actions and bring glory to Christ. Incredible that this happened in the same week our most senior officials were photo'd flouting health orders.
- Incredible that our healthcare system which costs $20 billion a year to serve 4.5 million Albertans is brought to its knees with 218 people in the ICU w/ COVID. What's worse is the response to blame the people, mandate masks and lockdowns, and divide us into clean and unclean.
- Trial scheduled for this week has been adjourned. My criminal charge has been dropped! Read the full update here: mailchi.mp/69b02adc09a4/c… Thank you for all your prayers. God is good. Jesus is worthy. His church will prevail and the gates of hell cannot stand against it.
- I’m thankful for all the prayers for my release following my arrest for gathering the church to worship our King. On Sunday our church building was also ordered closed. Please pray for the Lord’s provision of other places to gather together. The church must gather.
- Canadians, don’t rely on the truckers to win your freedom. Live free today! Take back medical choice Business owners, don’t support vax passes. Churches, don’t restrict your worship. The government may control the media but they don’t control the people nor the church. Live it!
- It was an honor to preach the gospel at the funeral of one of Calgary's police officers who began attending our church last year. It was his request to have me preach the gospel to hundreds of officers at his funeral. May they know the forgiveness, hope, and joy of Jesus.
- All glory to God that the last charge against me and our church has been dropped. These past few years have demonstrated the faithfulness of our God. Christ meant it when he said, “I will build my church.” Jesus Christ is Lord of all. He is worthy.We are pleased to report that due to the successful result in the Ingram case, Pastor James Coates, Grace Life Church, Pastor Timothy Stephens, Fairview Baptist Church, Southside Baptists, and Ty Northcott are all found NOT GUILTY of their Covid lockdown charges. God is Good!
