Boards
Church boards have a crucial role in the Body of Christ, as they discern God’s will for the leadership and mission of the local church. Contact your Regional Minister for support in electing a board, and download the Church Governance Manual:

Church Planting
Our vision is to multiply the number of Christ-followers in Western Canada. And that means multiplying our churches, too. If God has gifted you with a willingness to share the gospel in word and deed, and a desire to depend more fully on Him, contact us today to find out how you can participate in or support a new church plant.
Consider asking your congregation to join in a partnership program where you can participate firsthand in the joys of church planting by supporting a young church in its formative years.
For more information, please contact Shannon Youell at syouell@cbwc.ca.
C2 Grants
Century II began as a project of the Baptist Men in 1980. Since then, the campaign has expanded to include donors from the larger CBWC family. We are excited to relaunch this program under a new name, C2, inviting a whole new generation of donors.
Four times a year, we will introduce a new project—each from a different region in the CBWC. Donor’s gifts combine to provide money for projects to improve facilities or equip the church or camp for new and innovative ministry.
Donate to C2 online, or contact your Regional Office to apply your church for a grant.
