This year's AGM was held on Thursday, November 23, 2023, at 8:00pm EST.

The meeting was held online via Zoom in order to increase accessibility and reach a broader audience.

Our Annual General Meeting is a time to review the mission and mandate of Diaconal Ministries and how we work with deacons and churches across Canada. We review our Annual Report and Audited Financial Statements from the previous fiscal year, we present our new budget, and we also invite a guest speaker to share briefly about an exciting community ministry in Canada. We do leave time for questions and some open discussion on our diaconal work and that of our partners.

All Meeting Materials are now posted below.

AGM 2023 - Guest Speaker

Harry Stam

Harry Stam

We welcomed Mr. Harry Stam, Director of Crossroads for Prisoners Canada, as this year's guest speaker. Crossroads is one of our newest NewGround partners!

Crossroads is a national organization that strives to connect people in churches with those in prison to develop Christ-centered relationships as they study God’s Word together. 

“Although we may be small, we totally trust God to enable our ministry to be a voice of hope and comfort to those in prison. The message of God’s mercy and grace brings beautiful light to the dark world that these men and women live in. Many are fighting addictions, and many have had unfortunate family situations and are hurting and confused. Many feel unworthy and are burdened by their past, and God’s Word brings them hope and peace. It is our prayer that we can continue to bless all those in our Canadian prisons who want to learn more about God’s Word, and we totally rely on His strength to carry out our mission.”

The full recording will be available soon!
