The Mustard Seed
We began in 1975 when Reverend Gipp Forster felt a calling to serve the street community in Victoria. He started with a prayer stool in a closet in his shop where anyone could came to pray and receive spiritual and practical care. As the Mustard Seed grew, we moved into a bigger space on Pandora Ave and finally moved to our new home at 625 Queens Ave in 1995.
Reception is closed due to a fire. Please call 250-953-1575. Sorry we cannot accept donated food or clothing at this time.
Due to a fire, we will be providing food hampers in the parking lot from March 28-31 between 10AM and 1:30PM.
