Canadian Baptist Ministries has begun the search for a new General Secretary to lead the organization in its strategic mission and through the challenges it will face in the coming years. This person will provide visionary leadership for the staff and ministries of CBM. The Board of Directors and staff of CBM require our prayers as they go through this process and search for the individual that God has chosen to lead us nationally and internationally.

Merge is a new and unique event developed by the ABY, designed to help young adults begin to discern which direction in life they are being led. Merge is for youth in grade 12 as well as young adults in their undergraduate degree who may not feel the call to ministry.

How can God use individuals in their career choice?

Christian professionals from different career paths will be speaking about how they determined their career path, what steps they took to get there, and how they integrate their faith into their everyday lives. We hope that those who attend Merge will understand that God can use them in the profession they choose and that they can be a strong disciple of Christ wherever they are.

In our on-going vision for “healthy, growing churches,” the Atlantic Baptist Mission Board will be sponsoring three Natural Church Development (NCD) training events this coming April. Bill Bickle, Canadian Coordinator for NCD, has been invited to conduct these one-day seminars throughout our Convention.

Western culture is rapidly becoming post-Christian. As a result, the church faces her greatest missional opportunity in centuries. ‘Spirituality’ is now being pushed to the center. Followers of Jesus will have the opportunity to showcase their faith alongside every other faith in the world. Canada, which is rapidly becoming a post-Christian society, is a fertile ground for relational Christian witness. Post-modernity faces the church with its most dangerous challenge, in its anti-Christian perspective in its belief and practice. This new culture will be foreign to anything that we have ever known.

Excitement is building as preparations continue for Springforth! It is anticipated that hundreds of youth and leaders from across our Convention will come together in Moncton on May 7-8 to participate in this annual event held in Moncton, NB.

This year our theme is "ROOTED." The middle school track's emphasis will be on evangelism, our high school track on discipleship, and our leaders track on training. This event is made possible through the partial sponsorship by our Convention’s United in Mission Fund. Groups can now register through our Springforth website!
