Northern Canada Evangelic

What Northern Canada Evangelic does

Northern Canada Evangelical Mission (NCEM) is a Canadian interdenominational nonprofit Christian mission founded in June 1946 in Meadow Lake, Saskatchewan, with nine charter members and three mission stations. Headquartered in Prince Albert, Saskatchewan, with a US support office in Boise, Idaho, and a training campus in Lac La Biche, Alberta, NCEM is dedicated to establishing strong Indigenous multiplying churches among Canada's First Peoples through church planting, Bible camps, media ministry, aviation services, and discipleship training.

NCEM's operational portfolio spans eight primary programs: church planting via resident missionaries in over 20 Denesuline communities; Tribal Trails TV (a weekly satellite-broadcast television program reaching coast-to-coast-to-coast across Canada); Bible camps held at multiple locations including family camps and wilderness camps; aviation ministry using three Cessna aircraft to access road-inaccessible northern communities; radio ministry in Indigenous languages; an in-house print shop producing literature; the Keywaytin Discipleship Center in Lac La Biche (replacing the former Key-Way-Tin Bible Institute with a fall 2026 launch planned); and a bookstore (Tribal Trails Books). The organization is an accredited member of Missio Nexus and the Canadian Centre for Christian Charities, and its aviation fleet serves partner organizations including the Native Evangelical Fellowship and Child Evangelism Fellowship.

NCEM is a registered Canadian charity (number 107781296 RR0001) with no parent company, no venture capital involvement, and no public funding. Revenue is entirely donation-based, sourced from individuals, churches, and organizations; each missionary is responsible for raising their own financial support team, with maximum full-time monthly support of $4,800 (single) and $6,890 (married couples) and a 7% administration fee allocated to NCEM. The Minute-Man program provides up to three annual appeals for special projects. The organization maintains a Governing Board and a separate USA Board, and sources no revenue from product sales, fees, or commercial contracts.
