At conference the delegates elected Rev. Chris Westby as the next President of ACOP. A transition process will begin in the fall from the current president,
Rev. Wes Mills.  Please pray for Chris and Sherri and their family as they transition to this new role.

Wayne Rutter, Pastor of Wilberforce Full Gospel Church, passed away on June 4, 2026, at 88 years of age. He had a habit of visiting the church to meet and encourage someone—every Thursday morning. We pray for this congregation as they mourn the loss of their Pastor and friend, and we pray peace for his family.

"And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds..." -Hebrews 10:24

Wayne's obituary can be found below.

At our recent conference in Calgary, we announced the creation of several cohorts within the Fellowship. Those will now be starting up in September. In the meantime, stay tuned for more information and opportunities throughout the summer!

Camp season is almost upon us! Check out all our incredible ACOP camps below, and hold them in prayer as they gear up for summer! Lives are changed every year at camp, and we are trusting this year will be no different.

If you took any photos during our Stirred Up conference, we'd love to see them! We are still waiting on the professional photos from the week (and will let you know when we get them!), but we want to see yours too! You can send photos to communications@acop.ca. 

Today, the view from my desk is cloudy, with rain in the forecast for the next three days. After a long stretch of clear, sunny days, this is a bit of a disappointment, but at least it's not snowing!

However, the disappointment doesn't last long when thinking of all the good things rain brings us. It gives needed moisture to the crops and plants, washes away any accumulated dirt and grime, and refreshes us when the heat gets to be too much. 

Just like the weather, life comes with seasons, and though we may prefer one season over another, we can know that God is in every single one. He brings the rain, and He also brings the rainbow when the storm finally clears.

"He covers the heavens with clouds; he prepares rain for the earth; he makes grass grow on the hills." -Psalm 147:8 ESV
