will be held at Grunthal EMB Church in Grunthal, MB
July 6-8, 2023

Welcome to Connect23! You are invited to come and connect with other congregation members, leaders, and pastors from around the Fellowship of Evangelical Bible Churches. Our goal is to connect you with people, information, and resources that will help you do ministry better!

Here are some ways we are working to connect you with people, information, and resources:
  • Ample opportunities to get to know one another through group activities and free time
  • Keynote sessions that are relevant and helpful
  • Breakout sessions - focused on information that you can apply in your home church setting
  • “Ministry Conversations:” allowing leaders of various church ministries (admin, worship, youth, etc.) to discuss practical ideas and resources
Check out the Schedule of Events at the bottom of this page for more details!

Keynote Speaker:
Dr. Paul Nyquist


Dr. Paul Nyquist recently retired after serving nearly 40 years in a variety of ministries, including 18 years as Senior Pastor, 9 years in executive leadership in an international mission agency, 12 years in executive leadership in Christian Higher Education, and faculty member of 3 colleges and seminaries, teaching theology, leadership, and homiletics.

He has ministered in 35 countries and has authored 4 books.

Dr. Nyquist will be presenting “Parable Perspectives - A Motivated Mindset for Modern Life.”
     We will explore the parables of Jesus, pulling out principles that motivate us to be the salt and light our society needs - including:

     - The Unexpected Call to Nag God (Luke 11 & 18)
     - The Unfairness of God's Rewards (Matt 20)
     - The Unnatural Act of Forgiveness (Matt 18)


Host Church:
Grunthal EMB Church, Grunthal, Manitoba

We here at the Grunthal EMB Church are greatly privileged to have the opportunity to host Connect23. 

As we spend time together at Connect it is our desire to serve you however we can. We hope to be able to connect with you, listening and sharing with you what God has been doing in our community and lives and yours as well. May you leave from here with a feeling of family and friendship and may we together be strengthened for the work that lies ahead, for the glory of God.
​
We are making plans to bless you and your family, such as:
  • Fun outings on Thursday 
  • Kid’s Carnival (ages infant to 11) with bouncy tents and stations
  • Themed suppers that will transport you around the world
  • Friday evening youth event

Connect23 Project Offering:
Fisher Bay Bible Camp, Fisher Bay, Manitoba (building renovations)
​Fisher Bay Bible Camp is a Christian camp ministry located about two and a half hours north of Winnipeg on the Fisher Bay of Lake Winnipeg. The camp was formerly owned by the FEBC, and continues to operate in close coordination with our Manitoba FEBC churches. Many young lives have been forever changed by this ministry.
 
The camp’s chapel building needs to be releveled with a permanent foundation that will not shift. Additionally, the camp leadership would like to winterize the building with new skirting, insulation, and upgraded electrical service to support a new furnace. These improvements will help preserve the chapel and allow it to be used year-round – greatly enhancing the ministries offered at the camp.

Our goal for this project is $20,000 (CAD)
Donations can be brought to Connect23, or checks can be made out to “FEBC” with “Project Offering” in the memo, and mailed to:
​FEBC, 11605 W. Dodge Rd., STE 3 Omaha, NE 68154.
