Please be praying that we make some good connections with those in our community!

Tomorrow Elaine and I will have the privilege of visiting Restoration Church, another church plant located in Cambridge. We will be sharing about the Baden Church Plant, and the mission that God has put on our heart to introduce the hope of the Gospel into the heart of Baden.
We will have the opportunity to present at a number of churches in the coming months. Please join us in praying that God would be with us as we present, and that he would put it on people's hearts to partner with us in praying for the church plant, and support the ministry of Baden Central Church!
We look forward to updating you as this journey continues.

We're excited to see what God is doing in our ministry and many other Church plants around the province!

Our Fall Church Planting Update is now available! Check out this link to learn about some of the amazing things that God is doing through church planting. There are also prayer requests from our Planters, so please pray over these. Praise God for how He is moving and working across our region!

We moved! It was a long but really great day filled with excitement and a few tears. Thank you to everyone who helped us move (many not featured in this pic) and to everyone who’s been supporting us in this process. We’re so excited to see what God has in store for us in Baden!

Once we start working full time on the Church plant in September you can expect lots of ministry updates 👍

Last Sunday was Nathan’s last official sermon . It was a bittersweet day as we look forward to what God has in front of us but we’re also saddened to leave this wonderful Church and the people here.

Please pray for us as we move out of Toronto this weekend and move into the Baden area to start the next chapter of our lives 📦

As promised, we have some big news to share! During the time that Elaine and I have been in Toronto, we have been praying that God would show us what our next steps could be, and where he may be calling us to plant a church. Well, he has answered our prayers, so today we want to introduce you to Fellowship Bible Church - Baden, the church we believe that God is calling us to plant!
Baden is a small town just west of Kitchener, and an area that both Elaine and I have a great love for. We're so thankful for the opportunity that God has given us to plant a church here, and we're excited to be able to share this journey with all of you! We will be moving to Baden in the fall, once our apprenticeship in Toronto ends, and beginning the process of planting FBC Baden. In the coming months we will have lots of exciting information, and updates to share about this process, but in the meantime, you can check out the announcement video that we put together for FBC New Hamburg, our sending church. Thank you for all those of you who have been praying for us during our time in Toronto, and please continue to be praying that God would be preparing Elaine and I for the exciting ministry that he has called us to! More info to come soon!
