About Us

Little Flowers Community is a local church in downtown Winnipeg.  We are a progressive congregation that seeks to embrace lives of generosity, simplicity, hospitality, and peace. To get a sense of our commitments, please read our Attestation.

Little Flowers is a partnership between Mennonite Church Manitoba and Peace & Justice Initiatives.  Born from years of life and ministry in Winnipeg’s inner city West End community, we were asked by neighbours and friends to help form a new church in the neighbourhood.  After expressing the desire to partner with an established denomination with similar values and beliefs, we were approached by Mennonite Church Manitoba.  It was out of this relationship that Little Flowers Community was born.

Little Flowers is committed to being a community of hospitality and belonging. We are committed to be community-led, including all involved in the shaping and movement of the church.  Within that, there is a core of members who are serve in leadership as a Support Team.  Peace & Justice Initiatives directors and pastors of Little Flowers, Jamie Arpin-Ricci and Kim Arpin-Ricci, were joined by others in the formation of that team.  The current support team includes:

  • Laura Jackson
  • Kim Arpin-Ricci
  • Jamie Arpin-Ricci
  • Sam Schalk
  • Jen Funk
