Gathering 2026, May 8-9 — Plant the Seed. Grow the Forest.
Pastors and family‑ministry leaders carry big questions: How do we make sense of the next generation? How do we disciple kids and teens in today’s world? Where can we find fresh ideas, renewed vision, and real hope? Gathering 2026 is designed to help you answer those questions together.

Join us at Camp Evergreen for a weekend focused on cultivating strong, faith‑filled disciples. This year’s theme — Plant the Seed. Grow the Forest. — invites us to consider how long‑term transformation begins with intentional investment today.

Learn from experienced voices including Jonathan Kornelsen, author of Youth Ministry Blueprint; Steve Kim from Apologetics Canada teaching on AI, Transhumanism, and Next‑Gen Realities; and Steve Brown from Columbia Bible College addressing Faith Formation in Young Adults. You’ll also experience meaningful worship, unhurried conversations, encouraging stories, and practical clinics led by leaders from our ABMB family.

Whether you’re looking for connection, clarity, encouragement, or fresh imagination for the future, this gathering will strengthen you and your ministry. Families are welcome, with on‑site lodging, RV options, and nearby hotels in Sundre. Limited childcare is available for ages 6–11.

Grow your capacity. Renew your hope. Strengthen your calling.
