Save the Date: “Disciples on Fire” Convention Set for March 13-14, 2026

 

Understanding the importance of keeping all church ministry leaders focused on the Great Commission—specifically, the call to “go and make disciples of all nations” (Matthew 28:18-20)—the Ontario Conference is excited to announce the upcoming biennial Adventist Ministries Convention, scheduled for March 13-14, 2026. This convention, themed “Disciples on Fire,” will be held at the Sheraton Parkway Toronto North Hotel & Suites, located at 600 Hwy 7, Richmond Hill, ON L4B 1B2.

 

The Planning Committee, chaired by Pastor Joel Nembhard, Personal Ministry Director, has thoughtfully selected a lineup of dynamic speakers and workshop presenters, designed to offer valuable insights for church leaders seeking to enhance their leadership skills for effective ministry in both physical and digital settings. Everyone is encouraged to save the date and register for this inspiring training event in 2026. Registration will open soon.

 

Additionally, all Adventists in Ontario with a talent for song composition are invited to join the “Disciples on Fire” theme song contest. Please submit your entries by December 31, 2025.
