The Canadian Council of Christian Charities was originally formed in 1973 and currently has over 3000 members from faith-based registered charities across Canada, which include CBM and CABC. Their purpose is to provide help and support to their members in the area of government laws and regulations for charitable organizations. They offer training, information from lawyers, accountants and other professionals, best practices seminars, sample board policies, and fund raising counsel. Membership allows you access to resources and articles on their website, webcasts, newsletters, member discounts, and much more. Click here to watch a three minute video.

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.
