This summer, as you take part in Community of Christ reunions and camps, we’d love for you to capture your memories in photos and share them with us. Your photos might be featured in an upcoming Herald and on CofChrist.org.
Photos should be at least one megabyte, but bigger is always better! Send your photos to [email protected] and include caption details: the photographer's name, the event, and the location. Thanks, and enjoy your camping adventures!

Questions are welcome, suggestions are welcome, as well as simply listening, or, jump in and make your presence known. Welcome friend. Welcome to the new website of the Community of Christ in Canada.
Community of Christ is a world-wide denomination, comparatively small in numbers of members, but very large in our vision of proclaiming Jesus Christ and promoting communities of joy, hope, love, and peace. We strive for practices of welcome and inclusiveness in all of our activities. Our doors are open to all who are seeking a spiritual home and a faith community that values the worth of every person as a child of God. I work in the “Canada West Mission Centre” which is our name for the jurisdiction of the church that includes thirteen congregations, two campgrounds, and the beginnings of other creative expressions of the mission of Jesus Christ between Winnipeg, Manitoba, and Victoria, British Columbia. Please explore our website. Look up activities sponsored by congregations and by the mission centre. Find a congregation or activity near you to visit. Feel free to contact me or any of the leaders identified with specific areas or functions with any questions you may have about who we are and how we believe we are seeking to make our communities and our world better for all persons. |
