Join the Mission Centre Design Team: Shape the future of Community of Christ in Canada!

Community of Christ in Canada is taking a bold step forward by envisioning a single mission centre to serve the entire country. This is a unique opportunity to come together, share ideas, and ensure that our emerging structure reflects the shared values, traditions, and aspirations of our entire community.

The Mission Centre Design Team will work to:

• Preserve cherished regional traditions while envisioning unified practices for the future.
• Explore how congregations can fund the mission centre equitably, whether through quotas, generosity, or new models.
• Reconcile differing voting models (delegates vs. all-member voting).
• Envision Canada-wide conferences that foster community.
• Examine how campgrounds, reunions, youth camps, and retreats can continue to thrive.
• Build stronger connections with those not connected to any congregation.

Because we hope the team will faithfully reflect the diversity of our church, we extend this invitation to members of all ages and locations across Canada. Whether you have church administration experience, facilitation skills, a passion for community, or simply a heart for prayer, your contribution matters. This is not just about decision-making—it’s about shaping how we live out our mission together.

The team will meet monthly from January to June 2025, leading up to the fall conferences where the design proposal will be presented.

If you feel called to contribute, please submit a letter of interest to Field Apostle Art Smith at [email protected] by December 8, 2024.

Let’s build a mission centre that reflects the richness of who we are and prepares us for a vibrant, united future.
