Energize Congregations in Worship, Discipleship and Mission
Ephesians 2:19-22

Join us in person at Steinmann Mennonite Church (Baden, ON) on Saturday, April 25, 2026 for our one-day Annual Church Gathering, a day designed to equip, connect and inspire our MCEC community of faith.

This year’s gathering features a fresh, interactive format, bringing new energy and exciting opportunities to engage with others in meaningful ways. Together we will focus on Ephesians 2:19-22, reflecting on how we can energize congregations in worship, discipleship and mission—aligning with our MCEC collective purpose as a regional church community.

• Be equipped: Dive into practical workshops and affinity conversations for congregational leaders exploring your creative ministry, mission and congregational growth. Learn from one another and spark fresh vision to take back home.
• Be connected: Build meaningful relationships with others who share your joys, challenges and passions for church life.
• Be heard: Participate in the afternoon business meeting as we listen together for God’s guidance and vision for our shared future.

Special Complementary Events:
