National Prayer Tour Begins!

Meet Tom Mason and Luke Maiorino. We’ll be seeing a lot of these KU students over the weeks leading up to the National Conference of The Wesleyan Church of Canada on August 11th & 12th. Approximately 75 locations for prayer services across Canada and Maine began on Sunday at Solid Rock Wesleyan (Peter Hayes) in Mount Pearl, St. John’s, Newfoundland & Labrador.

This Sunday (May 7th), Luke and Tom will be in Halifax at Cornerstone Wesleyan Church (Denn Guptill). Most days there will be video updates and the site will archive the entire journey for easy access by date.

Kingswood University celebrated another inspiring Commencement Weekend with an excellent class of graduates.

An adventure serving God comes one “yes” at a time.
There are no death-bed atheists. No one ever got lost following Jesus.

One Con – June 2-3, 2023 @ Moncton Coliseum

ONE Conference has always been a movement seeking to align the youth of Atlantic Canada with the heart of God. As revival spreads and Gen Z are increasingly called into a deeper relationship with Jesus, the timing of this gathering has never been more important. We are so excited to return to the Moncton Coliseum for 2023, and to be able to get everyone in ONE space, as ONE church, worshipping ONE God.
