CHURCH LEADERS
(RNS) — Leaders of The Meeting House, a Toronto area megachurch with multiple locations and once one of the largest congregations in Canada, has shut down its public ministry, becoming a consortium of smaller congregations.
“It is with sadness that we are required to bring the public-facing ministry of The Meeting House to an end as of August 29,” according to a statement on the church’s website. “Going forward, there will no longer be churches operating programs or doing ministry under the banner of The Meeting House.”
The church’s remote sites will be rebranded as the “BIC Church Collective,” a group of nine congregations that share preaching as well as back-office support. Details of the new collective, which is part of the Be In Christ denomination, were scant. MORE HERE
