ACCREDITATION AND STANDARDSWe want to develop and maintain strong relationships with our pastoral leaders throughout CBOQ.

Accreditation, supervision and ordination all encourage our leaders towards excellence and effectiveness in ministry. These processes are administered through our Department of Leadership Development.

The Looking SeriesTransforming your Church by Discerning and Participating in the Mission Of God

Investing in your church’s mission, vision and leadership can help you discover the exciting ways that God is calling your church family to respond to the needs in your neighbourhood. These workshops are designed to help your whole church and your church’s leadership become internally strong so you can be effectively outward focused.

The series of workshops typically take place over the course of four to five months and include discerning workshop videos and accompanying sermon series and small group guides. While the material is designed to be self-directed, we would recom-mend the use of a CBOQ trained coach.

EDUCATION INTERNSHIPThe education internship involves working with CBOQ Youth staff for four months to a year in order to gain insights on “behind-the-scenes” organization, hone administrative skills and fulfill personal learning objectives.

ARE YOU INTERESTED IN HOSTING AN INTERN?Do you want ways to empower those in your congregation interested in pursuing vocational ministry? We can help you put together an internship program for your church. Find out more at cboqyouth.ca/edintern. You can also connect with Walter McIntyre about possible funding options (including summer grants from the government) at [email protected].

CAMP MINISTRY: AN ARM OF THE LOCAL CHURCHAs a ministry to youth, kids and families, do you see that camp min-istry is playing a strategic role in your planning? Given the amazing power that camp has to help young people grow in their faith, we encourage you to send the kids in your church to camp, and consider helping those who can’t afford it. There is something truly transfor-mative and life-changing about getting the chance to go to a Chris-tian camp and it is critical that campers get connected back into the local church. This is one reason why CBOQ gives leadership to the camp we own, Camp Kwasind, and highlights our association camps as well as other Christian camps—because we want to elevate the importance and significance of every young person having the op-portunity to be part of a Christian summer camp. For more informa-tion about Camp Kwasind, go to kwasind.com. You may also want to consider these camps that are also part of our Baptist family:

• Camp Hermosa: camphermosa.org• Camp Oneida: camponeida.com• Camp Burbalac: burbalac.org
