Gathering 2025 invitation from MC Canada Moderator
Congregations, please share a special invitation video from Geraldine Balzer.
Every three years our nationwide community of faith gathers together, hosted by one of our regional churches (this year by MCEC - watch welcome video below), for a time of relationship-building, discernment, business, and worship. These events are called 'Gatherings' (formerly 'Assemblies'). The last one was in 2022 in Edmonton, AB.
Track 1: Main Gathering: Join delegates and congregational representatives for inspiring sessions, worship, and connection.
Track 2: U30 Young Adults: Participate in the main Gathering with tailored events to engage with peers PLUS a special post-Gathering celebration at Hidden Acres!
Track 3: Youth Gathering: A vibrant, energetic event designed specifically for youth (Grades 6-12), hosted on the University of Waterloo campus.
Whether you’re representing your congregation, a youth looking to connect with peers from across Canada, or a young adult seeking inspiration, there’s something for everyone at Gathering 2025.

Please read/consider the reports prior to Gathering and have it with you if you're coming for Gathering.
