About Us

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!

Church Loses Charity Status

Canada Revenue Agency Becomes Thought Police

CCC__Street_Church

Kings Glory Fellowship received a letter from Canada Revenue Agency informing them that they are no longer eligible, after over thirty years of having charity status, to keep their status. The agency cited that "members of the Board of Directors espouse strong negative views about sensitive and controversial issues, which may also be viewed as political, such as abortion, homosexuality, divorce, etc" as the reason for denial.

The head pastor, Artur Pawlowski, from Kings Glory Fellowship, is also involved in running Street Church Ministries in Calgary. CRA made a connection between the two separate organizations and their directors and made a ruling against Kings Glory on that basis. The thrust of their decision penalizes Pawlowski, and Kings Glory, for speech and activities outside of the organization. Government is once again, through yet another branch, interfering with freedom of speech, expression and religion.

"This is simply a way of punishing me for defending our rights, and for standing up to bureaucracy, and speaking out against corruption and abuse of power. Speaking about different sins is not a political behaviour but is rather a God and state given right. We are a church, and I am a pastor, what is the government expecting me to talk about if not moral issues and God's laws?", stated Pawlowski.

Kings Glory is concerned that our government is coming increasingly close to a police state when it continues to use whatever means possible to silence speech and expression in what is supposed to be a democracy. They further asked where we are headed, as a nation, when government tries to limit a ministry's ability to function by limiting the flow of donations by denying tax status, merely because individuals running the organization hold certain politically incorrect views. Pawlowski said that he will not stop preaching just because the government doesn't like his views or activities he is involved in, in another organization.

"Whether we have charity status or not, I will continue to exercise my right to freedom of religion and freedom of expression. Various sins may be controversial to our government but they are not controversial to God, He is clear and to the point about them, as I will continue to be."

At this point, Kings Glory has no right to issue tax receipts to willing donors, but they have indicated that many of their supporters are upset at the government for this decision and will support the ministry in challenging this unconstitutional ruling.
