MCI Canada ( Mission Chrétienne Intergénérationnelle du Canada) croit qu'une nation ne peut être transformée que par le changement de chaque individu. Jésus nous l'a démontré par son approche personnalisée. C'est pour cette raison que nous avons des groupes pour les femmes, les hommes, les adolescents et les enfants. Votre besoin nous tient à coeur, quelque soit votre âge.

Notre vision ne se veut ni religieuse ni traditionnelle. C'est pourquoi, nous ne présentons pas une nouvelle religion, mais une relation personnelle avec Jésus.

Notre mission est de rejoindre le monde avec le message d'espoir en construisant une église contemporaine dédiée à développer des personnes dévouées à Christ et qui influencent la société.
