CHURCH PLANT CANADA

What CHURCH PLANT CANADA does

Church Planting Canada (CPC) is a Canadian non-profit collaborative network founded in the mid-1990s that brings together more than 25 denominational and church planting organizations to foster a coordinated national approach to church planting. The organization operates under the financial administration of the Pentecostal Assemblies of Canada (PAOC) at 2450 Milltower Court, Mississauga, Ontario, and is registered as a Canadian charity (CRA 107833295RR0374). Its primary constituents are denominational executives, network leaders, and church planting catalysts across English- and French-speaking Canada.

CPC's core offerings are coordination infrastructure rather than a technology product. The organization delivers value through an annual Intersession conference (held in Canmore, Alberta), a biennial Congress, virtual prayer sessions and webinars, missiological research access via partnerships with the Send Institute and the Church Multiplication Institute (Wheaton Billy Graham), and a national partnering ecosystem. It is not a software or platform business; its digital surface is limited to a Squarespace-hosted bilingual website, email newsletter, and event registration. The organization describes itself as operating with a thin administrative layer, with leadership drawn directly from partner networks (e.g., Co-Chairs Jeff Christopherson of CNBC and Mike Stone of Vision Ministries Canada).

Revenue is generated through two principal streams: annual membership contributions from partner networks (tiered from $1,000-$3,000 for smaller or newer networks to $5,000-$10,000 for larger established networks), and per-person event registration fees for Intersession ($500-$650 per attendee, including accommodation at Coast Canmore Hotel and Conference Centre). Membership recruitment is relationship-driven, primarily through direct outreach to denominational leaders and event-based engagement at Intersession and Congress. Financial figures are not publicly disclosed. The organization's value proposition centers on reducing fragmentation across Canadian church planting efforts, providing shared research and conversation resources, and convening leaders who would otherwise operate in denominational silos.
