The Gospel Coalition

Through prayerful collaboration, we long to see the gospel strengthen our churches, reach the lost, and shine brightly in our communities—all to the glory of God. This chapter provides a place where you can find like-minded believers who share the beliefs outlined in our Foundation Documents. The goal is to develop gospel-centered friendships with others—to pray for each other, and strategize how we can best reach this area with the gospel.

 

SEMBEQ

Our dream is to contribute to building a united province through the movement of the Gospel which engenders personal conversions, communities in mission, an increasingly just society and the renewal of culture in Quebec and the Francophonie. SEMBEQ is a ecclesiocentric seminary that calls on the local Church as its main field of action and learning. With the help of a mentor, the student develops his theological knowledge, his interpersonal skills and his know-how to become a competent worker ready for pastoral ministry. We are convinced that the formation of a leader must involve the local Church. A leader is formed by the Church, for the Church and in the Church. This is why SEMBEQ has set up SEMBEQ Training Centers (CFS). A CFS is a Church that wishes to invest in training and coaching, and that uses SEMBEQ tools to achieve this.
