Our Common Calling
Following Jesus in the World

JOIN US
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 in 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 in the world together, bringing good news of hope and healing in all areas of life and society.
Who Participates?
Leaders and influencers from churches, denominations, ministry agencies, educational institutions and the workplace are welcome to participate. We seek to draw a representative spectrum of provinces, territories, areas of influence and profession, ethnicities and language groups. We welcome younger leaders and contributions from both women and men.
