Dear District Family,

We are excited to invite you to the 2025 District Conference 'Witness', held June 2-4, 2025, at Waypoint Church in Quispamsis, New Brunswick. Thanks to Pastor Jon Curtz and the church family for hosting us this year.

This year’s conference is focused on missions, and we are honoured to welcome Stephen Hertzog, Regional Director for the Eurasia Region of the Pentecostal Assemblies of Canada, as our keynote speaker. Steve and his wife Patti bring a wealth of ministry and mission experience that will challenge and inspire us.

Election Year

As this is an election year, we encourage you to pray for the leadership decisions that will shape the future of our District.

Please note that voting will be conducted through the Simply Voting platform. Paper ballots will not be available. Please bring along a fully charged device with data to use for voting purposes. If you need assistance or do not have a device, please get in touch with the District office, and we will make sure you can vote on-site.

Special Missions Project

We’re excited to introduce a special missions project we will announce in the next few weeks with further information presented at the conference. In partnership with Mission Global, this initiative will be a meaningful opportunity for our District family to unite and make a tangible difference as we reignite our focus on missions. More details will be shared in the coming weeks!

Registration & Missions Support

The District Executive has generously committed 100% of all registration fees to our mission project. An offering will also be received in support of the special missions project. Your participation will powerfully extend the gospel’s reach.

We look forward to gathering with you for worship, fellowship, and ministry as we align our hearts with God’s mission.

We’re better together,

​
