Who Is The Church of God in Western Canada?
Equipping and empowering local churches to fulfill the Great Commission
Spreading the Gospel for 70+ years!
Since its beginning, the Church of God has been a "movement" with a mission of ministry to the world. In this new millennium, God is leading the Church of God as a global movement prepared to meet the demands and challenges of ministry in the 21st century.
The Church of God's vision in Western Canada is to equip and empower local churches to fulfill the Great Commission by developing Spirit-filled leaders, forming strategic partnerships, embracing innovative ministry, and offering robust leadership development.
Developing Church Leaders
Learning
We recruit and equip Christian leaders, offering educational opportunities to improve their platform skills, work on their craft, develop their gifts, learn from their mistakes, and allow God to grow their ministry, so they, in turn, can lead, train, and mobilize the next generation of leaders to succeed and advance the gospel of Christ.
Planting Life-Giving Churches
Growing
We are an association of churches affiliated with the Church of God in Cleveland, TN that partners with local churches and church leaders to provide support, guidance, and resources to launch and grow life-giving churches in both urban and rural communities. We will go where the Lord calls us to go! To all people, everywhere!
Building Strong Relationships
Relating
Solid relationships are the foundation for growth in any aspect of life. As Church of God churches multiply across Western Canada, we are committed to one another’s success by providing mentoring relationships with pastors and churches for guidance, encouragement, and fellowship. No one should feel isolated and alone.
