Each year Ambrose University hosts the Ambrose Research Conference – a gathering that aims to spotlight student, faculty, staff, and alumni research and scholarly activity, through a series of conference presentations and poster exhibits. This event is free to attend and open to the general public.
Technology stands as both an enabler and disruptor in the human experience, reshaping how people connect and communicate. While it has transformed communication, expanded access to information, and opened new avenues for interaction, it has also introduced challenges that affect emotional well-being and societal structures. The theme examines how technology alters traditional understandings of intimacy, community, and social norms. The focus is on the psychological, social, and existential impacts of living in a world increasingly mediated by digital platforms, emphasizing the need to ensure that technology enhances rather than diminishes meaningful human connections.

In partnership with: Langham Canada, Lausanne Movement Canada, and MiCA
“It’s not so much that God has a mission for his church in the world, but that God has a church for his mission in the world.” -Christopher Wright
Missions is not a task for a select few, but a calling of every believer. Mission is the mode of existence of all God’s people, who are called to participate in the mission of God. The whole Bible tells the true story of God’s redeeming purpose for all nations and all creation, centred on the cross of Christ and his resurrection, ascension, and ultimate return.
How does living in God’s story for God’s mission impact the whole of our lives including the public arena of everyday life and work?
We are delighted to have Rev. Dr. Christopher Wright, an internationally esteemed author, biblical scholar and mission…
