Koine cross Cultural Training

Koine (koi-nay) is our brand-new cultural competency training designed for the local church. This training will help your team better understand the essential components of a multicultural Church; engage newcomers, immigrants, and indigenous communities; and find your voice around issues of racial and social justice.

We invite you to check out bcyd.ca/koine and sign up for a training session for your staff, board members, and lay leaders led by Harold Gutierrez, our Intercultural and Indigenous Ministries Director.

Church Planting Apprenticeship Program

The Church Planting Apprenticeship (CPA) Program provides funding assistance to churches wanting to plant new churches or start new locations by helping them employ “apprentices” who can learn and grow while they prepare to launch.
