Trying To Do Too Much, Too Soon, With Too Little

That didn’t work. Ooops, that didn’t go like I thought it would. That reaction hurts. Really, they said that? They did that? Why? Hey, I am pastor/leader around here. I thought that meant something. I think he/she/they have the problem, not me. We could go on phrasing reactive scenar...

Grow...or Die!

Wow, that’s pretty direct. Blunt is maybe more accurate. I’ve heard the statement used in business contexts and it invites listeners to grow their organizations. Usually “growth” involves revenues, or contacts, or production, or sales in general.

Global Passion

I spent last Saturday with a couple heading from Canada to an overseas appointment. I’d tell you where, but the politics of the region they are heading to makes it dicey to even mention it by name. I was impressed with them. No I take that back, I was really impressed with them.

Worship...as performing art

I like viewing the arts. Art varies in the eye of the beholder but I used to really enjoy watching our kids high school choir concerts. They were always good because my kids were singing but sometimes they were just good. I can listen to a symphony but I really prefer watching it as I listen t...

Disaster Response

You’re probably aware from news stories about the devastating flooding going on in Pakistan. Whole cities, towns, and villages of displaced people are in desperate need. Many of them lost everything and some their very lives. If you’ve wondered how to help with this overwhelming crisis you can so do by giving to our official relief partner World Relief Canada. You can send funds through BGCC or directly to World Relief Canada. Here is a link for more info:

Welcome to BGC Canada

To Plant & Grow, Worshipping, Caring Churches - Globally!

Welcome to the Baptist General Conference of Canada. We are a movement of 106 Canadian Churches stretching from Vancouver Island to Nova Scotia. We are Baptistic in theology and gentle in spirit. Our background can be traced to the immigration of Swedish pietists coming to Canada in the late 1800's. Our congregations reflect a broad variety of culture and tradition. Some are filled with long term Canadians, others reflect the mosaic that Canada has become in this last generation. We speak English, French, Mandarin, Tagalog, Spanish, Cantonese, Japanese, Farsi and maybe even one or two other languages on any given Sunday in our movement.

We are looking to begin churches wherever we sense God opening the door to further ministry. Some of our congregations are large (over 1000 attenders) and located in urban areas but many of our congregations are smaller (under 150) and carry out faithful ministry in the rural parts of our nation.
