SPIRIT Place is a mixed use complex providing new church facilities connected to an enriched independent living facility that meets the needs of seniors.

SPIRIT Place is able to meet St. John’s United’s goal to maintain the church’s location and presence in Halifax’s Windsor Street and Chebucto community, while it responds to the need for senior’s housing on Halifax Peninsula and is able to provide it in an area that is close to amenities, public transit, doctors’ offices, and grocery stores.

St. John’s United has engaged in multiple congregational and neighbourhood meetings which included workshops, open houses, information sessions, and presentations and have shown a willingness to listen to the needs, desires, and ideas these groups were able to offer. The process has been one of openness, exploration, discovery, respect, and engagement. With these ideals in place, St. John’s hopes to embark on a new path and move confidently into the future.
