WHAT IS INITIATE ONLINE?

Initiate is specifically designed with Children’s Ministry, Student Ministry & Worship Pastors/Leaders in mind. We have intentionally designed this conference to inspire and refresh you and your leadership teams as you reach the “world” in which Christ has called you. Our hope is to engage all leaders in our general sessions & breakouts by giving leadership principles that apply to us all regardless of the demographic or context we find ourselves in. We are so excited to announce that in addition to Children's Ministry and Youth Ministry, we have now added a Young Adults Ministry and Worship Ministry Stream. 


Join us for a one day conference ONLINE!

The conference will be taking place over YouTube & Zoom. As a team, you can choose how you gather in accordance with your local Public Health regulations.

How do I register?

Registration will be live in the coming weeks. Stay tuned! This event is not available for individual registration. Please contact your local leadership at your church to register as a group.


How do I tune in?

OFFERING FOCUS

We are excited to highlight the Aboriginal Bible Academy as the offering focus for Initiate Online. 


The academy is committed to operating under the principle of coming alongside existing ministry to Aboriginal people across Canada and complement the effort being made in teaching and training Indigenous leadership.


Recognizing the unique contributions of Indigenous leaders throughout the history of Pentecostalism in Canada has long been a missing component within our current Canadian Pentecostal History course offerings. Producing a course that incorporates Indigenous Pentecostal content, is a vital component in Aboriginal Bible Academy’s ongoing educational ministry strategy to train and equip Indigenous leaders. Having this project highlighted through EOND’s Initiate Conference will help our academy to realize the completion of this course, which will facilitate the equipping of not only current but also future Indigenous leaders for pastoral and ministry readiness. It will also assist the student in meeting the educational requirements for full licenced ministerial credentials within the PAOC.
