We need photos of your congregation’s meeting place!

We are building the new find-a-congregation directory that will be part of a redesigned Community of Christ website (coming soon). The directory will include a photo of your location/church building along with the congregation information. Submissions need to be sharp, high-resolution photos, framed as a landscape (horizontal) with sky and ground showing. This will allow for any necessary cropping. E-mail photos along with your congregation’s name, address, mission center, and pastor name(s).

Child Protection Training

in BC

If you’ve taken the Registered Youth Worker training as recently as two years ago, please note that our policies and procedures have been updated.  It’s important that everyone take this training, even if you never intend to teach a children’s class or be a camp counselor.  We owe it to our children to be informed and have all of the current education available.

Registered Youth Worker Application
