H1N1 - CBOQ Response


Welcome to the Website of Canadian Baptists of Ontario and Quebec

We are a family of 348 Christian congregations partnering together under our mission “to support and enable our member churches to be healthy, mission-minded congregations.” Our vision and focus is to transform leaders, transform churches, and transform communities in the Name of Jesus Christ. This Website will navigate you through the initiatives and programmes that enable us to accomplish our vision, and introduce you to leaders and resources available to individuals and congregations to help in the on-going development of ministries and mission in the local setting.

In a time and culture where belief in God is openly challenged, Christians have the happy responsibility of demonstrating the impact that faith can have on individuals and communities by reflecting in our personalities, and through our active life in the Church, the nine flavours of the fruit of the Spirit: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, generosity, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control (Galatians 5:22-23).

CBOQ encourages this faith-motivated lifestyle, as well as meaningful worship and community service. Part of our mandate is to equip and enable people of every age group to be effective missioners in the Name of Christ.

John R. Torrance,
Interim Executive Minister
