About Us
The Regional Synod of Canada (RSC) is one of eight regional
synods in the Reformed Church in America. The Regional Synod of
Canada provides spiritual and practical leadership by
shepherding leaders, congregations and classes. We cast the
vision of the Synod, coordinate new church developments and
serves as a catalyst for congregation renewal. more
Our Vision
The Regional Synod of Canada is called by God to
mobilize the classes, churches, pastoral leadership, and laity into
mission. Mobilizing for Mission will help transform God’s call and our
dreams into reality. We mobilize the church by preparing the church and
providing resources for mission. Mission is responding to Christ’s call
to “Go and make disciples.” more

Report on Leadership Conference
April 27-30, 2012
by Stan Seagran
HERRINGTON AND TAYLOR:
CALLED TO CHANGE THROUGH AUTHENTICITY
“Our
choice is either deep change or slow death.” With those
words Jim Herrington and Tricia Taylor challenged the 100 or so
participants gathered in our sanctuary. Jim and Tricia are
gifted leaders who have been working with 30 congregations in
the RCA over the past 4 years or so to empower them to change in
deep and lasting ways so they may further God’s kingdom.
(RCA congregations in Canada have been
invited to participate in this engagement through a program
called the Ridder Initiative. What we heard over Friday and
Saturday was a taste of what these congregations have learned.)

Report
on Annual General
Meeting
Stan Seagran
Every year delegates from Classis
Ontario, Classis Canadian Prairies and Classis
British Columbia
meet to review ministry in the Reformed Church in America’s Canadian congregations and
to plan for the coming year of ministry. Keep your eyes and
ears open to read and hear about exciting initiatives by the
RSC such as: Giveahand.ca, a website which will enhance
communication so that people may assist churches and other
agencies in being the hands and feet of Christ in their
neighbourhoods. The AGM heard many reports from
agencies such as Words of Hope and World Relief Canada and
Evangelical Fellowship of Canada. You are encouraged
to be aware of the work being done by these agencies and to
support them with your prayers and, if so led, your money.
The Regional Synod approved a request by our executive
Secretary that starting on January 1, 20123 he will be on a
contract for 85% of a fulltime position. Teresa Dekker was
elected as Vice-President.
