We currently have 6 NewGround Partners across Canada!
NewGround supports these churches and ministries through grant money, coaching, resourcing and by helping these ministries network with others inside and outside their local community.
Community Ministry Partners
Each of these partners has established a community ministry that is making a difference in the lives of people in need. They provide an open door of hope for people to make a fresh start through new choices, skills and opportunities. A door of opportunity is also open for church members to build relationships with people in the community.
Cross Town Impact (Brockville, ON)
An after-school program for vulnerable youth in Brockville, ON. They provide a safe and inclusive space that encourages youth and lets them know they are loved, especially by God. Their "Impact Zone" is a free after-school program for kids including fun games, educational lessons, and a positive encouraging environment!
In partnership with Athens CRC, ON.

Greater Vancouver Youth Unlimited (Abbotsford, BC)
New Life CRC is partnering with Youth Unlimited (YU) to hire a full-time Youth Pastor to work with the vulnerable youth of east Abbotsford. Since YU workers fundraise their own salaries, NewGround support will reduce the initial fundraising pressure and allow this person to focus on ministry development for their first few years.
In partnership with New Life CRC, Abbotsford, BC.

Mission Montreal (Christian Direction)
Working through Christian Direction, Mission Montreal will help two local congregations in the east end of the city design long-term missional projects focused on sustainable housing solutions for their unhoused neighbours. NewGround's desire is to help share the learnings from this process, finding answers to the question, “After we do our community assessment, then what?”
In partnership with First CRC, Montreal.
