Thank you for joining us!

If you missed the public lecture with our keynote speaker, you can watch the recording below.

As Western culture grows more secular and Christianity finds itself toward the edges of culture, Canadian church plants are witnessing to God’s love in the world in new ways. This conference will explore how the rhythms and rituals for leadership, worship gatherings, and discipleship formation are being adapted in different contexts. Grounded in missional theology, this conference will highlight how God’s Spirit continues to guide the church through this time of transition.

The keynote speaker is Dr. Stefan Paas, a church planter and a professor from the Free University of Amsterdam.

Canadian church planters and ministry leaders will also lead workshops and storytelling sessions during our three days on the UBC campus. Some of our speakers and leaders include: Rev. Albert Chu, Amanda Mina, Andrea Perrett, Barry Jung, Cameron Gutjahr, Elle Pyke, Glen Soderholm, Jeremy Bellsmith, Jodi Spargur, Kim Pierrot, Nelson Boschman, Rev. Dr. Ross Lockhart, Tim Dickau, and more!

This conference is for church planters, researchers, students, congregational leaders, and anyone who is curious about the new things that God is sprouting up in the church.
