What is Leadership Development Day?

This year, all district pastors and lay leaders are invited to a day dedicated to the heartbeat of the Church: making Christlike disciples. We welcome Mark Bane for a deep dive into Disciple-Making the Jesus Way, and how to move us from simply attending church to actively making disciples.


Throughout the day, we will:

Unpack the specific activities and rhythms that made Jesus history’s most effective disciple-maker.

Adapt those ancient practices into modern, personal habits for your everyday life.

Equip your local church with the "Above and Beyond" mindset needed for neighbourhood-changing evangelism.


To find out more about our speaker, Rev. Mark Bane, read this interview from Holiness Today, or check out the USA/Canada Region website.  If you're interested in church planting, find out more at Multiply Collective or find resources at:  https://www.usacanadaregion.org/church-planting

Canada West Welcomes Rev. Ritchie!

As we gather for District Reunion 2026...

we center our hearts on the truth that God is moving Above our imagination and Beyond our lifetime. 


Inspired by Ephesians 3:20–21, we celebrate the "immeasurably more" taking place right now: the vibrant new ministries and "change agents" appearing across Canada West like flourishing branches. 


Yet, we recognize that this growth is sustained by roots that go deep into the soil of our history. Following the mandate of Psalm 78:4–6, we are planting seeds today for a spiritual awakening that future generations will harvest. All that we do, every new work started and every leader empowered, is done with a single, focused heartbeat: For His Glory.


We are honored to welcome General Superintendent Dr. Filimao Chambo as our presiding official for this year’s Assembly. Dr. Chambo’s global perspective and passion for the Great Commission will be a powerful catalyst as we seek God’s vision for our district. Join us this June as we worship, discern, and celebrate the God who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine.


To register, contact your local church office.  You can find out more about Dr. Chambo at this link.
