About Us
Curve Lake Christian Assembly has existed since the 1990s, when it was started by a group of First Nations leaders eager to see God minister to our community. It has gone through a number of transitions since then, but continues to value heartfelt worship, biblical preaching, and regular fellowship together. You can like our Facebook page, join us at a meeting, or get in touch with our pastors below if you want to learn more!

Ben Peltz
Ben and his wife Shoshanna have served with local church, campus, and camp ministries since 2010. In October 2019, our former pastor, George Budd, invited Ben to serve alongside him and gradually take over the reigns. As of 2021, Ben is the sole pastor at CLCA.
