The Movement

The Transformation Movement in Canada

Our movement is working to see people dedicating their homes, workplaces, sports teams - whatever their sphere of influence, to be an Ekklesia: an outpost of the kingdom of heaven.


We believe the kingdom of heaven is expanded here on earth by believers inserting themselves into the dough of society, and intentionally seeking to transform it.


We believe Jesus called us to disciple nations, and we are working to equip and empower more people to catch this vision so that Canada can be transformed.



Our movement is comprised of three overlapping groups:

1. Practitioners

The individuals and organisations putting into practice the transformational principles we teach in a focused and intentional way.

2. Allies

The organisations we are relationally connected to where we actively support and encourage one another.

3. Partners

The individuals and organisations that enable us to continue with our vision of seeing Canada discipled by investing consistently or significantly into the movement.

Learn more about these three groups below.
