Events
Assembly
Each year, we gather either in person or online for an Annual General Meeting. Our in-person gatherings are lively and celebratory as we enjoy face to face time with others in our family of churches through worship, keynote speakers, and connecting time while also holding the annual business meeting portion. In our online meetings, our time together is centered on connecting with our family of churches using the Zoom platform in order to present audited financial statements, proposed budgets for future years, as well as ministry updates. No matter whether in person or online, we are always excited to gather and share our stories of where God is at work among us.

New Ministers Orientation
You are invited to join us for the CBWC’s New Ministers Orientation (NMO). As a new pastor, chaplain, or ministry leader with the Canadian Baptists of Western Canada (CBWC), we want to welcome you and resource you for effectiveness in ministry within our Baptist church family. Additionally, your presence will allow us, as CBWC staff, the privilege of getting to know you and learning how we can best serve you.
The NMO is a part of a more comprehensive orientation journey. That journey may include the Baptist Identity course with Carey Theological College, supervised ministry, written assignments, various meetings with your association of CBWC churches and for some, a meeting with the CBWC Credentials Committee and the Ordination Examination Council.
This event is by invitation with information and online registration sent out via email to registered participants in late October.
For inquiries related to New Ministers Orientation (NMO), please email Joyce Rebman at bcyarea@cbwc.ca.
