On June 1, a diverse circle of ministry leaders, practitioners, and storytellers will gather in Hamilton and online—not to prescribe formulas, but to offer real-life glimpses of what’s possible when churches begin asking new questions and listening deeply to the needs of their neighbours.

Here are some of the voices helping to guide that conversation.

Across the country, congregations are asking courageous questions about what it means to be the Church where people are - that’s what we’re discussing this week. They are moving from hoping people will come to them, to going out to meet people with curiosity, compassion, and creativity. This is not about trend-chasing or novelty—it’s about faithfulness. It’s about aligning with the Spirit’s movement in neighbourhoods, in housing projects, in addiction recovery centres, and in prayer-walked streets.
