Our Dioceses
CCOEB dioceses serve communities across Canada and beyond through episcopal oversight, pastoral care, accountability, leadership development, and apostolic fellowship.
The Canadian College of Evangelical Bishops is comprised of dioceses and ministry jurisdictions serving churches, leaders, and affiliated ministries across Canada and around the world.
Each diocese is entrusted to the spiritual oversight of a Bishop who provides leadership, pastoral care, accountability, and guidance while remaining united under the shared vision, mission, values, and governance of CCOEB.
Our Diocesan Structure
- Provide episcopal oversight and spiritual accountability.
- Support development, affirmation, and mentoring of clergy.
- Encourage evangelism, discipleship, church planting, and outreach.
- Promote sound doctrine, ethical ministry, and biblical leadership.
- Advance the mission of Christ through regional engagement.
Episcopal Leadership
Each Diocese is led by a Bishop who serves as the chief spiritual overseer of that jurisdiction. The Bishop provides pastoral leadership, guidance, encouragement, and accountability while helping to strengthen churches and develop future leaders.
One Fellowship — One Mission. Though dioceses serve different regions, they remain united through a shared commitment to Christ-centered ministry.
