Lausanne Canada: Lower Mainland (BC) Get-together

The Lausanne Movement began in 1974 when Billy Graham and John Stott gathered thousands of leaders from 150 nations in Lausanne, Switzerland. Since then, Lausanne has connected people across regions, issues, and generations to advance God’s mission worldwide.

In Canada, this vision is carried forward through Lausanne Movement Canada, the national committee that exists to advance a Canadian gospel movement by connecting visionary ideas, faithful leadership, relational influence, and strategic generosity so they converge across generations, cultures, regions, and issue networks to shape the future of the Church and society.

Join us for an evening of connection and collaboration as we explore how God is at work across British Columbia and the wider Lausanne Movement.

This gathering is open to everyone, whether you have been part of Lausanne before or are discovering it for the first time. Together we will reflect on how we can declare and display Christ in word, deed, and sign in this cultural moment and region.

Note: Trinity Western University is a TENTATIVE location, still to be finalized, but will still be in Langley area.
