CBAC Sunday
Centered on the hope-filled vision God has given the CBAC family for Atlantic Canada
CBAC Sunday gathers the focus of our family of churches to celebrate what God is doing among us, reconnect with our shared mission, and invite our congregations into the bigger story we are part of together. (Your church is welcome to participate on an alternate date of your choosing.)

CBAC SUNDAY RESOURCES
Planning details for your church
On CBAC Sunday, we celebrate how we are stronger together – serving, supporting, and resourcing one another across Atlantic Canada. By aligning our hearts and efforts, we can watch the tide of hope rise, deepening our combined impact for the Kingdom. Our goal is that everyone will find this day an inspiring experience of being part of something bigger, encouraging deeper partnership in hope-filled ministry and spurring on your Kingdom work.
The CBAC team has created high-quality recorded videos featuring a message from Renée MacVicar and stories of how God is working in Baptist churches across Atlantic Canada. You can find suggestions for use in the Service Resources PDF below, including sharing them in service or online only.
We want to assure you that CBAC Sunday does NOT include a request for money or promotional segments for upcoming events.
If you plan to use the videos, even online or at a later date, please RSVP; this will make it possible for us to let you know if there are any updates or additional features available, and know that your church is counted in.
