Missions Fest

What Missions Fest does

Mission Fest BC operates a single annual three-day Christian missions conference held in Chilliwack, British Columbia, with the next edition scheduled for February 12–14, 2026. The event functions as a regional rallying point that combines worship, teaching, and prayer with an exhibitor hall where Christian missions organizations can engage directly with attendees. The organization is presented by Mission Central, which also runs the supporting email newsletter (Mission Central Updates) segmented across conference news, church updates, and missions organization updates.

The underlying offering is experiential rather than technological: a venue-based gathering with no software platform, no mobile app, no proprietary technology stack, and no API surface. Distribution is direct — individual attendees and church groups travel to the Chilliwack venue, while missions organizations reserve exhibitor booths — supplemented by organic social media and the email newsletter. The organization is small (~6 employees), private, and operates as a non-profit community initiative under the Mission Central umbrella.

Mission Fest BC generates revenue through event registration fees and charitable donations explicitly solicited to "support future events." Pricing for conference attendance is not publicly disclosed, and there is no enterprise sales motion, no named major customers, and no disclosed financial figures. Marketing is concentrated on community engagement via social channels, the church network in BC, and the Mission Central newsletter ecosystem.
