Gathering 2025

July 2-5, 2025 
Kitchener, ON

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.

Gathering 2025 is shaping up to be an incredible experience with three unique avenues for engagement :

Track 1: Main Gathering: Join delegates and congregational representatives for inspiring sessions, worship, and connection (base fee $385).
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 (base fee $385; Retreat $75)!
Track 3Youth Gathering: A vibrant, energetic event designed specifically for youth (Grades 6-12), hosted on the University of Waterloo campus ($425 with accommodations / $300 without).

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. Choose your track below (vertical boxes) to take you to unique content and registration - hurry, all registrations close on June 25!
