It’s important to take time every once and awhile to recognize the work and the people who serve God faithfully within the Canadian Baptists of Western Canada. So, today we provide you with a list of these resource and ministry groups that we have within the CBWC and the people involved in each group. In creating this list, we hope that we have remembered and recognized all the individuals and ministries under our umbrella – my sincere apologies if we have missed anyone. Please let us know so that we can update this.
Warmly,
In Christ,
Jeremy Bell
