Revitalization Journey

Revitalization happens when churches focus on key church health areas. Where is your church in its life cycle? What health indicators does it need work on?
Revitalization for Small Churches is a coaching and training opportunity that helps churches revitalize through small church gatherings, webinars and coaching. This three-year journey is designed to allow your small church to navigate revitalization opportunities and challenges. You will be joined by other churches who’ll form with you a practical learning cohort. To complete this journey it will take commitment and faith, but along the way you will receive comprehensive assistance and encouragement.
Next cohort launches January 2024

CBOQ Sunday
2023-10-15
Once a year, we ask our churches to take a few moments during their Sunday morning services to share this with their congregations: Your church is part of an amazing family of churches, transformed by Christ, revealing God’s kingdom. Together we are sharing our common faith, caring for our leaders, growing and expanding our church family and building up the next generation of Canadian Baptists. We are helping our churches to connect with each other and work together for the glory of God and his kingdom.

National Indigenous Peoples Day
2023-06-21
June 21 is National Indigenous Peoples Day
For generations, many Indigenous groups and communities have celebrated their culture and heritage on June 21 or around that time of year because of the significance of the summer solstice as the longest day of the year. This is a day when we recognize and celebrate the history, heritage, resilience and diversity of First Nations, Inuit and Métis across Canada. We encourage you to participate in local celebrations taking place across our two provinces.
We also encourage you to include a territorial acknowledgement in your Sunday services.
For a guide to territorial acknowledgements and other suggested resources, visit here.

We invite you and your church to set aside one Sunday to focus on the plight of refugees. Click here to download an excellent resource including stats, prayers and sermon starters to help you plan a meaningful worship service on the theme of refugees and hospitality.

National Indigenous History Month
2023-06-01 08:00 - 17:00
June is National Indigenous History Month. It is a time for all Canadians to reflect on the unique
histories, sacrifices, cultures, contributions, and strengths of our First Nations, Inuit, and Metis
Peoples – because only by understanding our past can we hope to create a brighter future.
National Indigenous History Month invites Indigenous Peoples to celebrate their history in the
spirit of pride and preservation. For non-Indigenous Canadians, it is an opportunity to learn and
show recognition of the role Indigenous Peoples have played and continue to play in shaping
Canada.
Additionally, June 21 marks National Indigenous Peoples Day.
