At Concerned Christians Canada, we are committed to speaking out and bringing the truth of God's word to bare on all aspects of society and life. Speaking into the culture is in fact being the salt of this world that Christ called us to be.

Christ said we are the light of the world. He said that we are not to hide this light under a bushel but that we are to live as examples of holiness and Godliness in this dark world. With our projects, which are focused on serving and blessing, we are committed to demonstrating the love of Christ without forsaking the gospel. We regognize that we are to be salt and light, not salt or light.

Concerned Christians Canada is encouraging Christians, who are called by Christ's name to stand for Christ, and when they have done all to stand, to stand having girded themselves with the armor of God. We are sounding the trumpet call to all men and women that love the Lord to be the watchmen over the nation that we are called to be.
Our nation, although founded by men who believed in the God of the Bible, has markedly departed not only from holding the Bible up as THE authority for and above all men, but has substancially departed from honoring the God of the Bible.
There are many attacks on the Biblical definition of the family. God has blessed his definition of marriage, other choices bring curses, not only on the adults but also on the children and on the society that embraces those choices.
CCC is committed to explaining the benefits for God's design for marriage. As an organization, we are also committed to promoting God's model, to individuals, groups and politicians.
In this day and age, youth are hurting. Whether it be that they have been wounded by sexual, physical, emotional or spiritual abuse, at home or elsewhere, or broken by "dating" which has left them abandoned and broken, whether they have had stability and security robbed from them due to their parents divorcing, or any of a myriad of other problems, children are more and more hopeless and need to know that Christ is for them if the turn to Him. Find out how CCC is reaching out to youth.
We need your prayer support.
God is our source and our provider, but he uses people like us to pray for one another, to edify one another and to build each other up in the faith. He uses people like us working together in the Spirit of Christ to change lives. Find out how CCC is encouraging the body of Christ to work together to Pray, Act and Make a Difference!
| I was arrested today at Calgary's City Hall for Reading the Charter of Rights. |

Today I was arrested at Calgary's City Hall for reading the Charter of Rights and Freedoms outside the doors of the City Council chambers at the base of the stairs. We went today to the Atrium to celebrate our faith and share about our saviour during this Christmas Season. Corporate Security and the Calgary Police Department showed up and escorted and later arrested the pastor of the gathering. This provoked me to stand up and read from the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, pointing out that the Charter was being broken by their actions. I was then issued a no trespass order and immediately was escorted from City Hall. I then went with a group of Christians who had been kicked out of City Hall to talk to the mayor about the issue. We walked into City Hall and asked to see the mayor. We went to see him to discuss the matter with him directly because it was due to his direct invitation that we went to the atrium to start with. We were told that he was not available, so we told the attendant at the security desk that we would wait patiently for him to come. Then as we waited quietly in the entrance to the old City Hall, several officers showed up and told us to leave. We explained that we were waiting to speak to the mayor and that we wanted to address the matter with him directly. They arrested us. I asked why I was being arrested, they kept telling me that I was trespassing. When I told them that City Hall is the hub of politics and decision making and that the courts have upheld municipal buildings as one of the best places of public protest, they told me once again that I was being arrested for trespassing. Understand that the only thing I did was to listen to the preaching of the pastor and read from the Charter of Rights and Freedoms in City Hall and for that I was given a tresspass order and eventually arrested. A total of seven of us received tickets and six of us were arrested. Watch this video to see my arrest. Here is tresspass order and the fine I received one after the other, for "trespassing":
