What follows is a summary of the initiatives that have already begun. All of these Barnabas pastors are available to assist nearby churches so that together we may learn how we might become even more fruitful and effective in God’s service.

We want to think (as missionaries do) not only about the ‘field’ of one church’s ministry and programming and community involvement, but also of the whole ‘farm’ of a wider region that needs to experience the grace and good news of God through the partnered outreach of churches in that area.

We are partnered with Elgin Street Baptist, Arnprior and with Pastor Julie-Anne Morton. Her mandate and our shared vision goes beyond that community, and the renewal and building up of that church. Julie Ann will provide encouragement and resource-assistance to churches in the Ottawa Valley.

CBOQ has joined with Oasis Dufferin Community Centre and the capable leadership of Chris Ortiz in a variety of outreach ministries inherent to Oasis in the Dufferin Street area, and in its mission of seeking to create community by demonstrating God's love and care in such ways as to help people attain their fullest potential.

CBOQ has also joined with Greenhills Community, under the Directorship of the Rev. Narry Santos. A teaching and mentoring ministry is underway that includes both theory and practice - a context for learning and involvement in signficant community involvement and church leadership.

A new Barnabas initiative is undeway in Eastern Ontario, under the leadership of the Rev. Randy McCooeye, Pastoral Leader at First Baptist, Cornwall. Both local and wider-region initiatives are anticipated for this new contextual emphasis, that began in January of 2012.
