Launch Weekend
Home 5 Summer 2025 5 Launch Weekend

August 31 – September 1, 2024

A launch… at the end of the summer? What are we thinking? We’re thinking about you! After an incredible summer at MBC, our goal is to help send you back into your home communities prepared to live out your faith with your families.

To help with this goal, we’re starting “Launch Weekend” – an end of the summer mini-conference for you to prepare yourself for being the hands and feet of Christ to your friends, family, colleagues and neighbours.

Join us for a weekend full of encouragement, worship and preparing for “the real world”. With session led by Michael Haykin (Heritage, SBTS), Peter Kuehni (DeliberateU) and Aimee & Alyssa Esparaz (Compassion Canada), and a final summer worship night led by The Worship Project, Launch Weekend will have a little bit of something for everyone. The best part? All the sessions, workshops and worship concerts are FREE!
