The Challenge
Kingdom transformation is happening, but it's not multiplying.
Leaders are isolated
Leaders are isolated
Many carry a Kingdom vision but do not know who else sees what they see.
Generations are disconnected
Generations are disconnected
Younger leaders need fathers, mothers, mentors, and relationships they can walk with.
Models are not multiplying
Models are not multiplying
What God is doing through one leader needs to become transferable to others.
That is why we are gathering in Calgary.
"I found every single session to be both inspiring and practical."

Frequently Asked Questions
If you need something beyond what is covered below, reach out directly and we will help you make the right next step.
Who is this for?
The Kingdom Builders Forum is for Christians who are building the Kingdom in the marketplace, ministry, government, education, arts, or any sphere of Canadian society — and who want to be connected to others doing the same. If you sense a calling to more, and you are tired of doing it alone, this room is for you.
How many people attend?
Attendance is 150 for the Forum. For the open Friday Night next generation gathering, we remove the round tables and make room for 200+ people.
What is the Friday Night event?
Friday Night (October 16, 7 PM) is a free event open to everyone — especially the next generation. Gen Z leaders will share how they are building the Kingdom in the marketplace. Registration is required, even though the event is free. Doors open at 6:30 PM.
Is the Forum only for marketplace leaders?
No. The Forum gathers leaders across every sphere — business, ministry, arts, education, government, and more. What unites everyone in the room is a shared conviction that the Kingdom of God belongs in every part of Canadian life.
What are ticket prices?
Ticket prices and categories are available on the registration form. If you need help deciding whether the Forum is the right fit, use the contact form on this site and we will respond directly.
Is there a retreat after the Forum?
Yes. An optional Canmore Retreat runs October 17–18 and continues through Sunday night for about 30 invited leaders. It is for connected marketplace and ministry practitioners who carry a heart for Canada and want to go deeper in relationship, prayer, and discernment together. The invitation price is $99. Saturday and Sunday dinner, plus Sunday lunch, are covered. Breakfast is on your own, while travel and lodging are arranged by participants. See the Retreat page for the current schedule, what is included, and lodging guidance.
Can my organisation sponsor the Forum?
Yes. Sponsorship starts at $1,000 and includes complimentary registrations, logo placement, and more. See our Sponsor page for full details.
