We share the conviction that all people can know God directly through Jesus Christ, and that God calls all people to reconciliation. This century-old commitment which created the CBOQ is demonstrated in the diversity in worship and service.In our own provinces we help plant churches, train leaders, send missionaries, feed the hungry, and touch people in their circumstances. Along with Canadian Baptists in other regions of Canada, we work internationally as Canadian Baptist Ministries.
