About CCMBC:

The Canadian Conference of MB Churches (CCMBC) is the national Conference for MB Churches in Canada. CCMBC exists to resource its churches through partnerships with six provincial conferences in Quebec, Ontario, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta, and British Columbia. This Canadian Conference has also established national agencies whose joint mission is to provide services to Canadian MB Churches. The national agencies are MB Seminary, Legacy, and Multiply. Furthermore, CCMBC offers services and resources through its internal departments, such as the Centre for MB Studies and Kindred Productions.
