Apologetics Canada Conference
Much of what we view today as universally good — from basic human freedoms, hospitals, schools, orphanages, and charities — has been a direct result of Jesus' followers practically and faithfully living out His teachings in real time. But let's be honest, the church (whether we're talking about an institution or the people within) over the last 2000 years hasn't always had the best reputation, has it?
Knowing how to navigate the highs and lows of the church in history can be complicated, but it is far from impossible! Join us January 30 & 31 for our Apologetics Canada Conference in Burnaby, BC, as we seek to provide satisfying answers to curious questions and present a compelling case for the impact of the church in history — whether that's in the first or the twenty-first century.
Friday, January 30, 2026 – Saturday, January 31, 2026.
Willingdon Church, Burnaby.

This Year’s Theme is “My Love For You”
Our 2026 conference will be centered around experiencing Jesus’ manifest love for us, based on the Apostle John’s life-changing vision of Jesus in Revelation 1. John writes, in the introduction to that vision:
To him who loves us and has set us free from our sins by his blood, and has made us to be a kingdom and priests to serve his God and Father—to him be glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen.
from Revelation 1:5–6
Imagine the most gentle and loving person in your life—just by walking into a room they put a smile on your face and fill you with peace. Notice that it’s their presence that shifts something inside you, even before they say a word.
It was the same for John in Revelation 1. Just by seeing Jesus, John immediately experienced the whole culture and ethos of the One who sits on the throne. He felt Jesus’ presence as He drew near.
Having had a similar experience, Paul writes to the church in Corinth:
For the love of Christ compels us, since we have reached th…

The twentieth-century German Lutheran pastor and theologian Dietrich Bonhoeffer (1906–1945) holds a special place in the hearts of many for his theological insight and his courageous commitment to living out a Christ-centered, community-oriented vision of the Gospel’s costly grace in the midst of historical crisis. Bonhoeffer’s voice continues to inspire people to think both with and after him in ways that are both creatively constructive and critically relevant.
We warmly invite longtime fans and those new to his work to join us for a thought-provoking afternoon of scholarly exploration. Together, we will reflect on Bonhoeffer’s life, work, and enduring legacy, with particular attention to fresh perspectives on his theology and ethics and their ongoing significance for today.

Evangelical Missiological Society Canada 2026 Regional Conference
Theme: "Theological Anthropology for Missional Engagement"
In-Person: Alberta (AB): The King’s University, Edmonton , British Columbia (BC): Trinity Western University, Langley , Manitoba (MB): Steinbach Bible College, Steinbach , Ontario (ON): Tyndale University, Toronto, If you cannot attend in person, join us online for live sessions and discussions.
This year’s theme “Theological Anthropology for Missional Engagement” is central to missiological reflection and practice, since acts of gospel witness, service, and cultural engagement all rest on assumptions about human identity, dignity, and destiny. In a rapidly changing world—marked by shifting views of spirituality, ethnicity, gender, technology, and ecology—the church must embrace a biblically faithful and missionally engaged understanding of the imago Dei.
At the heart of this year’s theme is the exploration of Imago Dei in missional engagement—how human dignity, human rights, and…

As faith-based organizations engaged in development work, we sense the call to pursue justice with dignity and mutuality. In practice, however, whose voices shape our operational vision?
This Forum will invite participants to reflect on the power dynamics influencing who sets the agenda, who makes the decisions, and ultimately who benefits — both locally and globally. Why do some efforts, like those supporting women and children, for example, attract significant support, while initiatives led by Indigenous leaders and/or traditional authorities often remain underfunded?
In light of our faith, what does true partnership look like — especially when donors and institutions hold the larger share of financial and/or structural power?
Through dialogue and reflection, we’ll explore what it means to shift from “doing…
