You are invited to the BGCA Gathering 2011, happening July 8, 2011 in Canmore, AB. This year we join the BGC Canada Celebration (July 5-8) in Canmore with the BGC Alberta Gathering integrated into the Friday July 8 schedule. We encourage you to come for the entire event, it’ll be great!

We’re pleased to have Dr. Reggie McNeal, a Baptist pastor and noted author of many books on leadership and the missional church including “Missional Renaissance” for a special one-day seminar on Friday July 8. Reggie enjoys helping people, leaders, and Christian organizations become more intentional. He currently serves as the Missional Leadership Specialist for Leadership Network of Dallas, TX. Reggie’s past experience involves over a decade as a denominational executive and leadership development coach. He also served in local congregational leadership for over twenty years, including being the founding pastor of a new church.

July 8 Friday will start off with Reggie McNeal's seminar on missional leadership and discipleship in the church of the 21st century, starting at 9am. From 12 noon to 2 pm there will be a special BGCA lunch and also a short Annual General Meeting. Then we return to the seminar with Reggie McNeal at 2:00pm, and finish at 5:30pm.
