In its own words
We are an independent Christian charity supported by local congregations in Alberta providing a means to contribute to larger programs that smaller churches could not undertake alone. We run provincial programs such as a summer camp for children a ministry that builds bridges and dialogue between Mennonites and other faiths and a climate care program led by young adults. We contribute financially to national church conference charitable programs. We also provide spiritual and administrative assistance to developing and supporting congregations.
