We have now completed four of our five-year Fellowship National Strategic Plan (FNSP) called “Catalyze: Disciples making Disciples everywhere: 2021–2026 ”.

Our past year in review: September 2024 – August 2025

• Our family of churches grew this past year. Five years ago (2020) we were 507 churches. We now total 541 churches as of June 2025 — Pacific: 103, Prairies: 28, FEB Central: 304, AEBEQ: 85, and Atlantic: 21.
• Our Fellowship family planted 11 new churches in 2025—between 2010 and 2025 The Fellowship established 143 new church plants.
• Our Fellowship International department appointed one new long-term career missionary and deployed two Launch mid-term missionaries. We currently have 92 Fellowship International missionaries serving in 23 fields.
• Fellowship International missionaries witnessed 434 baptisms; 906 Discovery Bible Studies were established; 13 new churches were planted; 2,762 national leaders were trained in 519 training events; and 42 local churches in Canada were supported by our EPIC and Onside summer camp ministry with 4,847 child registrants, 288 professions of faith recorded, and 22 EPIC and Onside workers going on short-term mission trips to Colombia and Mexico.
• Our FAIR department raised over $1,300,000 in donations toward appeals, projects, and development programs that helped alleviate human suffering around the world. Our local churches joined with FAIR in strengthening our Fellowship Child Sponsorship programs serving children across five locations in four countries, with a further 63 new child sponsors joining our growing sponsorship team. Thank you.
• Our Fellowship Chaplaincy ministry appointed 21 new chaplains with 136 professions of faith recorded. We currently have 174 Fellowship chaplains serving in 16 different areas of ministry in closed communities (“closed” in the sense that churches and/or pastors are often not permitted to enter but chaplains are welcomed) throughout Canada.
• Our Fellowship National Francophone ministry served our AEBEQ churches by establishing seven new partnerships this year to help support three French church plants in Quebec.
• Our Fellowship Foundation has received over $32 million in estate legacies, direct gifts, and investment deposits as of September 2025 with a further $1,424,000 in pending legacy gifts added this past year. To encourage every church to invite our Fellowship Advancement Director, Gord Baptist, to do estate training in your church, we are excited to share that $7 million in the Fellowship Foundation will be going to our local churches in the years to come. Pastor, invite Gord to your church today!

A review of our “Catalyze” strategic plan: 2021–2025

To view Domestic and International Action Plans, click HERE and discover the outcomes related to:

1. DISCIPLING: Multiplication for mission
2. WORKERS: Recruiting for mission
3. PARTNERSHIP: Mobilizing for mission
4. EQUIPPING: Training for mission
5. RESOURCING: Providing for mission

God has been good. Seventy-eight churches planted among our 23 Fellowship International fields along with 1,302 baptisms and 5,118 national leaders trained since 2021. Fellowship International has recruited 13 long-term missionaries and nine mid-termers in the past four years, while Fellowship Chaplaincy has appointed 107 new chaplains during the same time.

This is just a taste of the favour that God has shown while our local churches remain on mission. Take a peek at the FNSP and be encouraged.

I hope to see many of you soon at our upcoming Fellowship National Conference (FNC 2025) in Toronto on November 3-5, 2025.
