Church Renewal is a Global ministry helping pastors and church leaders renew their churches. It was founded in 2011 by Pastor Ray Duerksen, who has 30 years of pastoral experience in two churches. Pastor Ray planted and pastored his first church for 8 years and his second church (Southland), for 22 years. Southland had experienced three church splits in the five years before Ray began his pastorate. By applying Church Renewal practices, which included a thriving prayer ministry, God grew Southland to 4500 attenders. Church Renewal has expanded quickly over the years and today is mentoring nearly 1500 pastors in 35 countries on five continents, including 350 in Canada. These pastors join a one-hour online mentoring session each week. Please join us for this Church Renewal Presentation where you will hear how the principles and practices of Church Renewal can transform your life and church.

"I have never been at a church where prayer is not just a ‘program’ but is actually the lifeblood of the whole church…. I have no doubt that for the rest of my life, I will look back on the Church Renewal weekend as being a pivotal point in my life and leadership."
- Sr. Pastor, St. Albert Alliance Church

The vision of Church Renewal is to be a catalyst for church renewal in Canada and beyond. This is a sizeable vision, but one for which God has given clear and simple direction and strategies. Through Church Renewal, Pastor Ray and Fran Duerksen are working with pastors across Canada to bring renewal to the Canadian Church. As a result we are seeing lives and churches transformed! We believe that if the Church is going to be effective, it needs to be centered in prayer. Prayer is the catalyst for transformation, renewal, and the expansion of God’s Kingdom and God has called His Church to this purpose.
