Toronto, ON: Reimagining Church, Land and Community

May 13 @ 1:00 pm May 14 @ 3:30 pm EDT

Over the past decade, thousands of churches in Canada have closed, with many sold to the private market. In the coming years, even more churches will face decisions to redevelop, sell, or close. While some properties remain underutilized, others are awakening to new opportunities for justice and partnership within their neighborhoods.

This two-day conference aims to shift the narrative of decline around Canada’s church properties into stories of renewal, justice and flourishing neighbourhoods. Through plenary talks, storytelling, panel discussions, and working group dialogue sessions, the gathering is designed to inspire collaboration, meaningful dialogue, and exploration to new and innovative approaches to church properties.

Featuring plenary speakers Rev. Dr. Willie James Jennings, Jennifer Keesmaat, and many more.
