Living out Faith - Equipping Leaders - Transforming Communities
OUR MISSION
Equipping leaders to develop innovative communities of faith
focused on transforming marginalized
communities in Canada.
OUR STORY
Mission Alive (MA) formed in the USA in 2004 to help churches respond to mission opportunities, particularly in marginalized communities, close to home across North America. As of January 2025, one of thirty MA church plants is in Canada: the Gentle Road Church of Christ in Regina, Sakatchewan.
Mission Alive Canada (MAC) formed in 2020 to recognize the unique context, blessings, and challenges of planting churches in marginalized communities in Canada. By God's grace and provision and with church partners and trained missionaries, MAC will work to multiply church plants in marginalized communities across the country.
OUR APPROACH
EQUIP leaders to plant mission-focused churches
SUPPORT by connecting and coaching churches and planters
TRANSFORM by fostering faith communities that reflect God's love through acts of service, justice, and compassion
Jeremy Hoover, Executive Director
Seven years ago, my family and I moved back to Canada to engage in the mission of God in my homeland. Now with over 25 years in church-based ministry, it was clear that God was calling us to something new.
We moved to Sarnia, Ontario and began working with a small but well-established group in an impoverished area in the city. When that expression of mission didn’t work out as intended, I began to serve a small, rural church near Sarnia while continuing to dream about what God’s expanding mission in Canada could look like.
I was beyond thankful to be invited to join Mission Alive Canada, first as a board member, and now as its Executive Director.
Mission Alive Canada seeks to develop, train, and equip missional leaders in both existing churches and new church plants to carry out the mission of God wherever they find themselves–in communities, neighbourhoods, and workplaces. I am excited to partner with God on this journey of growing Mission Alive Canada as part of God’s expanding reach in Canada!
