Over 300 people across MCEC gathered in-person (at Redeemer University, Ancaster) and online in the first ever hybrid MCEC Annual Church Gathering on April 29-30, 2022.
“This is an historic gathering in the life of MCEC,” said Leah Reesor-Keller, MCEC executive minister. “After the yearlong Courageous Imagination process of listening and discerning together, we have adopted new identity and priority statements to guide us into who God is calling us to be, in this time and in this place.” Sean East, financial manager, and Rich Steinmann from Finance Council, expressed thanks to congregations and individuals for their financial support of MCEC ministry and noted record-high individual donations. Delegates approved the MCEC slate of volunteers including a one-year extension to Arli Klassen’s role of moderator. Delegates welcomed seven congregations and 25 pastors to MCEC.
