Serving Small Churches Across Canada

Dr. Ron Johnston
What if our understanding of God’s plan for the church is all wrong. Karl Vaters in his book The Grasshopper Myth suggests that that just might be the case.

Women’s Church Participation Survey
Small Church Connections is part of an EFC research project on the experience of women within the evangelical church of Canada. We very much want to hear the voices of women in small churches across Canada/ We need to hear your voice because too often small churches get missed in research.
Please pass this survey on to other women who might be interested. Please Note: This survey ends on June 30, 2025.
