The Canadian cultural landscape has experienced a massive shift away from the gospel. We need an army of young Christians who are unashamed and willing to boldly proclaim their faith in every sphere of their life. Go United seeks to create an environment where young adults can unite with their peers, ignite their passion and learn practical strategies for living out their faith. It’s time for a generation of young adults to stop hiding and instead be confident in their call to live out the gospel.

GO United welcomes pastor of the Village Church and author Mark Clark and apologist Tim Barnett on September 21st for their inaugural young adults’ conference.

Cost: $20 before September 1st and $25 after September 2nd

Gamechanger Bible Study is the official study that Jane Hansen released for the building up of men and women of God so that His Kingdom will prosper. This study focuses on our identity in Christ. Have you have unfulfilled prophetic words and discouragement has set in. God is wanting to raise you up! This will be a SAFE place for all. We will form wholesome and transparent relationships. It is an interdenominational study. We walk in unity with the whole Church of Jesus Christ. Aglow has an Apostolic calling…to love and call out those discouraged, to speak resurrection life into each person.
If you feel that God is calling you to Women’s Aglow Barrie then please contact me! If you notice there will be an afternoon study and evening study. This is to meet the needs of all.
I have led many women group studies through various ministries. I began my involvement with Women’s Aglow in 1989. Let us be bold and claim our identity and callings in Christ! You can watch Graham Cooke on U-tube as he teaches what a title Gamechanger is!
Peace and Love through Jesus Christ,
Jeannie Dulisse
