Phase 2: Reopening Strategy
Now in Stage 2 of Alberta's relaunch strategy, MCA encourages caution, careful assessment, and preparations before congregations decide to reopen.
Encountering, Embracing, Embodying Christ
in life, in community, in the world

Phase 2 for Congregations
Beginning June 12, Alberta moved into Stage 2 of its relaunch strategy. MCA continues to recommend caution. Congregations may hold worship services as long as they follow all distancing requirements and guidelines outlined for worship gatherings and for businesses.

Who We Are
“Community” is what MCA is about!
by Brenda Tiessen-Wiens, Moderator MCA
MCA is made up of 12 congregations that have committed to building community together. In community, we build a foundation for our identity and we find a place of belonging. In community, we draw on each other’s strengths and gifts to explore faith and pray, celebrate and mourn. We become enlivened, we practice generosity, and we share resources to do together what we can’t do alone.
Community is a place to ask the question, “And who is my neighbour?” and then to explore the nature and breadth of our neighbourhoods. The richness that we experience as members of a regional, nationwide, and global church is a taste of the Kingdom of God.
