Connect26

Registration is open for Connect26! Our annual gathering of churches will happen July 9-11, 2026, at Salem Church in Waldheim, SK, and we want to connect you with people, resources, and information that will help you do ministry better. 

This event is not just for pastors and leaders, but for anyone who is interested in learning more about God’s Word, about our Fellowship, or about healthy church ministry. 

This year, we are excited to introduce “Table Talks.” 

In years past, we had “Directed Ministry Conversations,” which consisted of a two-hour period where folks could connect with others in their own area of ministry to discuss challenges, share advice, and grow together. 

This year, we’re going to try Table Talks. At 1pm on Saturday, we will have ten tables, each with its own area of discussion. You can sit at any table to discuss that area of ministry. Every 15 minutes or so, we will signal that it is time to move. You can go to another table, or if you prefer, you can continue at your current table. This format will give you the opportunity to connect over the various issues your church may be facing. 

Here is a tableau of Table Talk topics (okay, it’s just a list, but “tableau” sounded fancy): 

1. Worship & Music Ministry 
2. Children’s & Youth Ministry 
3. Preaching & Teaching 
4. Adult Discipleship & Small Groups 
5. Outreach, Evangelism, & Missions 
6. Recruiting & Supporting Volunteers 
7. Safety, Security, & Crisis Response 
8. Addressing Social Issues Biblically 
9. Developing Leaders & Preventing Burnout 
10. What challenge are you (or your church) facing in ministry right now? 

This should be a great time to grow together! If you plan to be at Connect, ask your church leaders if they have specific questions in any of these areas. When we connect, God can use us to sharpen one another. We are joining our hands to strengthen His church. 

See you at Connect.
