The Canadian church context has undergone radical change in the last several decades. The growth and health of diaspora churches is to be celebrated, even in the midst of the differing challenges of first and second generation congregants as they find their way in the Canadian context.

From the Margins, The Diaspora Effect; Shaping the Church of the Future is offered as a conversation space where diaspora church leaders can gather together across cultures, developing the potential for true relationship, unity and mutual learning, considering the common challenges and shared opportunities of ministering in a multi-cultural Canada.

Hosted by Outreach Canada and the TIM Centre (Tyndale Intercultural Ministries), this forum is intended to be a peer-learning environment. If you are navigating the dynamics of leading a diaspora church, a multicultural church, or are working collaboratively with diaspora church leaders, then this space is for you.
