Kansas Nebraska Convention of Southern Baptists (KNCSB)

Canada Partnership

Join God’s work in Canada

God has given the Canadian Convention of Southern Baptists a vision of starting 1,000 healthy, reproducing, cooperating churches by the year 2020. There are now only 200 Southern Baptist churches in the entire nation.

The Kansas-Nebraska Convention of Southern Baptists recently voted to enter a mission partnership with Canada. It will focus on the provinces of Saskatchewan and Manitoba, which are similar to our two states. The partnership will consist of:

• Church planting in Manitoba — There are only two Southern Baptist churches in that province, and they are located in Winnipeg.
• Planting churches designed to reach students — Southern Baptist campus ministries in Kansas-Nebraska will partner with student ministries in Canada.
• Encouragement — With only 200 Southern Baptist churches in the entire nation of Canada, the work is often lonely and discouraging.
