The exhibitor schedule is: Friday 6pm–10pmSaturday 9am–10pmSunday 12pm–4pmAboutSERVE is the new name of Missions Fest Vancouver. In many ways it is a traditional missions conference...with a twist. Considering the discipleship crisis that we are experiencing here in Canada we ask all our partner agencies to orient their engagement with attendees and churches towards helping people grow as missional disciples of Jesus. CREATE is our conference for creatives that helps facilitate the growth of a community of generative Christian artists with the goal of seeing them become missional disciples. It features the CREATE Moving Pictures Festival.The Future of Mission Central and SERVEMission Central held our AGM on June 30, 2022, where it was announced that at the end of February 2023 the ministry will be transitioning — Mission Central Christian Society will be closing its doors, effective February 28, 2023.The SERVE and CREATE conferences in January 2023 are the last major events of Mission Central.

If they showed up, I wanted to know who they were and what they were about. SERVE was an educational experience. I learned about organizations that I didn’t know about. It really showed me how little I know about the work that is going on in the world.Decoration image for quotationA wide variety of topics and ministries locally and globally. Excellent presenters and content. Opportunity to connect with a large number of organizations. Being online it is available to people across the country - those not being able to get to a conference like this. Decoration image for quotationOn behalf of Dallas Hiebert and our Canadian Mobilization Staff CONGRATULATIONS for a job well done in putting together this excellent gathering online. It has been a blessing to see the vast number of participants coming from all over the world. We were blessed to be a part and to serve.
