Move for More.
Hunger is closer than we think.
Across Canada, 1 in 4 households are experiencing food insecurity. Around the world, conflict, rising costs, and extreme weather are making it harder for families to access the food they need. Active in Mission 2026 invites you and your church to turn movement into impact - supporting food programming in 17 countries and here in Canada.
Our family of churches – Canadian Baptists of Atlantic Canada, l’Union des Églises Baptistes Francophone du Canada, Canadian Baptists of Ontario and Quebec, Canadian Baptists of Western Canada, and CBM – have already raised nearly $250,000 to fuel practical, hope-filled responses to hunger.

Every step you take helps put food on the table and hope within reach.

Partner in Mission update
Solidarity Sunday is a special day set aside for Canadian Baptist churches to stand along local churches all over the world who serve their communities as the hands and feet of Jesus. This day provides an opportunity for us to reflect on the ways in which we can be partners in God’s mission to bring peace and reconciliation, not only in our local communities but also globally.
For 2025, the theme is “Partners in Peacemaking” based on John 14:25-27.
Active in Mission 2024

Feeding Hope
Even in 2024 food security remains one of the critical challenges in our world. You may be seeing that close to home with people you know but what might be harder to see is that intensifying conflict in multiple countries, the repercussions of economic shifts, and the impact of extreme weather events are all continuing to drive food insecurity.
Last summer people like you helped to demonstrate that Canadian Baptists care, as nation wide this initiative raised over $100,000 to support food programs here in Canada and in 12 countries around the globe.
This year, we want to do even more!
Our family of churches – Canadian Baptists of Atlantic Canada, l’Union des Églises Baptistes Francophone du Canada, Canadian Baptists of Ontario and Quebec, Canadian Baptists of Western Canada, and CBM – are working together again to help feed hungry people.
With over 900 churches and 72,000 members, imagine the impact we can make collectively by taking steps in really practical ways to bring hope to those who need it most!
