At the Pinawa Christian Fellowship we strive to be transparent and accountable. On this page you will find the governing documents of the congregation and current information about our congregational meetings and finances.
Our Mission Statement describes how we aspire to live out our faith in community. Our By-Laws govern the conduct of the congregation, which is a not-for-profit corporation registered in the Province of Manitoba.
You will find our most recently revised By-Laws here, along with our former By-Law #2, appendices which are currently being re-written as Standard Operating Procedures. Those appendices describe many of our activities and the roles of our officers and committees but they were becoming unwieldy in their detail and have been removed from the legal description of the corporation. We preserve them here as a record of our past practice as we seek new ways to be faithful while honouring the history and wisdom of our working together.
