We Invite You To Join Current And Future Conversations And Projects As People Who Have Responded To Jesus’ Call To “Come And Follow Me” And His Command To “Go Into All The World And Make Disciples.”

God has blessed Canada with a rich ethnic diversity. The global church has gathered in our neighbourhoods. Our Common Calling is an opportunity to explore how God is weaving us together to follow Jesus into the world.

Our Common Calling conversations allow us to: 

  • listen, learn and discern, informed by Scripture and prayer

  • hear stories of God’s work in the world told in compelling ways

  • encourage repentance of the idolatries that prevent us from responding fully to our calling

  • facilitate hope-filled and innovative responses to God’s sovereign leading

Empowered by the Holy Spirit, we seek to follow Jesus into the world together, bringing good news of hope and healing in all areas of life and society.

Who Participates?

Leaders and influencers from churches and denominations, ministry agencies, educational institutions and the workplace are welcome to participate. We seek to draw a representative spectrum of provinces and territories, areas of influence and profession, ethnicities and language groups. We welcome younger leaders and the contributions of both men and women.
