It was glitter tattoos, hot dogs, and princesses a plenty at the Heartland Park yesterday afternoon.

Plenty of families came out and enjoyed the weather at a park party hosted by The Cause Church.

Kyle Hoetmer, Lead Pastor of The Cause Church, says the non denominational Evangelical church is hoping to launch in Cochrane in January 2017.

"We just felt like we needed to come to Cochrane, our home church is in Rocky Mountain House, so we're just moving from there," he says. "We just thought we'd start doing some stuff to get our name out there, and be a part of the community."

Hoetmer shares this is just the beginning of family based activities the church wants to host in the community.

"My wife and I have young kids, four and two, so we want to plant a church that relevant to families, and I think that's a large demographic of what Cochrane is. We just want to do stuff that adds value to Cochrane and blesses families, that's why we did this, we just thought it would be something families and enjoy."
