The Rural Life Committee of Bay of Quinte Conference aims to support, nurture and celebrate life in rural and small congregations. Our overarching goal is to be recognized as a leader in valuing rural ministry, and in supporting rural ministry initiatives.

We are living this out in several ways, as we set these goals in 2008:

1. to provide worship and evangelism materials suitable for use in rural and small congregations
2. to provide regular theological reflections with an orientation to creation
3. to promote on-going education of all members and adherents in the art of being welcoming
4. to help rural/small congregations resond to social justice issues and provide support to meet the needs of individuals within the community - locally, regionally and globally
5. to nurture rural congregational self-esteem as we a ccept people as they are, and celebrate our accomplishments
