Baptize Canada

Christian Community Events Baptize Canada represents a historic opportunity for churches across our nation to unite in celebration of new life in Christ.  On Pentecost Sunday, congregations from coast to coast will gather at indoor and outdoor venues to witness the public profession of faith through baptism, creating a powerful national testimony to the continuing work of the Holy Spirit in Canada. By joining together, we create a witness that transcends our individual congregations. We demonstrate to a searching world that the gospel's invitation remains open to all, that the church stands united despite its diversity, and that the transforming power of Christ continues to work in Canada today. Register your church. Sunday, May 24, 2026. For more info visit www.baptizecanada.ca.

Church With No Home Tour in Calgary - by Open Doors

Christian Community Events Pastor Barnabas and his family live in a tent that’s smaller than a double mattress in an IDP camp in Nigeria. They lost their home because militants attacked their village, and have been cast aside, feeling forgotten by the world, for 5 years.

Church closures, forced evictions, mass displacement or the need for extreme secrecy means that church communities have difficulty gathering and worshipping together. But despite this, the Church finds ways to meet, holding onto the Lord, Who is always with them. Join Open Doors for a special presentation featuring stories of persecuted believers who are boldly following Jesus no matter the cost. You will hear about the latest World Watch research and have the opportunity to stand in prayer for the global church. Sunday, May 24, 2026, 8:00 PM – 9:30 PM.

Hamilton Leadership Prayer Breakfast

Christian Community Events The annual event is an opportunity for the Christian community in Hamilton to gather together to support and honour our local Members of Parliament (MPs), Members of Provincial Parliament (MPPs) Mayor and City Councillors, as well as our first responders and community leaders, and lift them up in prayer. This year's speaker is Kevin Rempel - a World Champion, Paralympic Bronze medalist in sledge hockey, and speaker who knows what it means to fight your way through adversity. After a freestyle motocross crash left him paralyzed, doctors told him he might never walk again. A year later, he proved them wrong, learning not just to walk, but to compete for Canada on the world stage. Through his journey from injury to the Paralympics, Kevin discovered that choosing the right mindset is key to getting back up. However, after walking away from Jesus for nearly 20 years and returning to God in 2024, he’s now recognized that it was God who carried him all along and now loves to share his testimony to give others hope… Thursday, June 4, 2026, 6:30 AM – 8:30 AM.

National Indigenous Peoples Day

In cooperation with Indigenous organizations, the Government of Canada chose June 21, the summer solstice, for National Aboriginal Day, now known as National Indigenous Peoples Day. For generations, many Indigenous peoples and communities have celebrated their culture and heritage on or near this day due to the significance of the summer solstice as the longest day of the year.
