Merge

Merge Logo

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.

New Cornwall Welcomes New Pastor

New Cornwall

On March 1st, the New Cornwall United Baptist Church will welcome Rev. Tom Davidson as their new Pastor. This is somewhat of an historical event as Rev. Davidson will become the first Pastor to live in the community.

The church, which was part of a three point field, is now being served on a half time basis like the other two churches. The Annual Reports show that New Cornwall has moved into this position because of a desire "to grow". Over the past years, the worship attendance has increased by 85% and membership by 25%.
Beginning three years ago, they grew from having only two services per month to
services each week. Bible Study also began on a weekly basis with a
total of twenty-two in attendance, with an average this year of about seventeen.
