Our Mission

The Vision of the Canadian Rural Church Network is to be a supporting network for rural church and rural community development in Canada.  Through the internet and modern communications, ecumenical partners are able to:

• Support each other.
• Help articulate the rural story and spiritual values.  
• Affirm the Church's role at the heart of small communities.
• Exchange information and resources across Canada and around the world.
• Advocate on behalf of the rural perspective.
• Reflect the importance of community values in a global society.

Believing that feelings of isolation and despair can be overcome when people of the land gather to share stories about positive possibilities...

... the Canadian Rural Church Network (CRCN) is an organization of persons (lay and clergy) who have a passion for enhancing the quality of life in rural communities.
