Pentecostal Holiness Church of Canada

As we enter 2026, the Pentecostal Holiness Church of Canada continues to move forward with confidence in God’s leading and a deep appreciation for the people who faithfully serve within our fellowship. As we look to the year ahead, our focus is shaped by both vision and care. We seek to strengthen the church while also tending to those who lead it.

Prayer remains central to our life together. We are committed to cultivating a culture where seeking God is not peripheral, but foundational. Through ongoing national prayer initiatives, regular online prayer gatherings, and shared prayer resources, our churches are being invited to stand in agreement for one another. We believe deeply in the power of united prayer and in the faithfulness of God to respond as His people call upon Him.

An important and continuing strength of the PHCC is our relationship with Advantage College in California. This established partnership provides our pastors, leaders, and emerging leaders with access to solid, biblically grounded education. Whether pursued for personal growth, leadership development, or formal academic credentials, these opportunities continue to play a meaningful role in equipping those called to serve.

This year, we are placing a deliberate emphasis on pastoral care. We recognize that those who shepherd others must also be supported, encouraged, and cared for. Meeting the spiritual, emotional, and personal needs of our pastors is a priority for the General Executive Board. Through greater connection, intentional support, and a renewed spirit of mutual care, we desire to see our leaders strengthened, healthy, and sustained for long-term ministry.

At the same time, the PHCC remains committed to planting and establishing new churches. We believe church planting is vital to reaching new communities and advancing the Gospel across Canada. We continue to encourage and support those called to pioneer new works, trusting God to raise up leaders with vision, courage, and a heart for harvest.

Above all, we give thanks for the faithfulness evident throughout our churches. We continue to hear testimonies of lives changed, congregations growing, prayers answered, and new ministry opportunities emerging. These reports remind us that God is actively at work among His people.

With humility and expectation, we move forward together, dependent on the Holy Spirit, committed to one another, and confident in the Lord’s guidance for the days ahead.

With prayer and gratitude,
