More than 500 youth, young adults, leaders, volunteers, and global partners gathered at Brock University this August for Collective 2026: (Em)brace for Impact, a national youth gathering hosted by The United Church of Canada and The Presbyterian Church in Canada.
Over four days, participants explored faith, belonging, justice, and what it means to create positive change. Through worship, workshops, global connections, music, and moments of joy, a community rooted in hope and mutual encouragement took shape.

Paul wrote 13 letters that have been preserved in the New Testament. They represent key early church teaching on Jesus Christ, Christian living and purpose. We will explore Paul's letter using relevant The Bible Project videos. Alongside the videos we will read key sections of the letters to better understand Paul's thinking on a variety of topics. Lots of opportunity for discussion and questions.
