In the summer of 2019 we soft-launched our Internship initiative.  As a part of this initiative, we are in partnership with Mile One Mission in Newfoundland / Labrador; Fellowship Baptist Church, New Hamburg and Baden ON; Emmanuel Baptist Church, Chatham, ON and 3M/ LA Cite' Mascouche, QC. Together we are sponsoring interns financially to work full-time. Their focus on carrying the Gospel in Canada aligns well with our mission and core values. From 2019 to the end of 2025 we have sponsored thirteen interns in total in three provinces including, Newfoundland and Labrador, Ontario and our newest starting 2025 is in Mascouche, Quebec.  SCA is committed to sponsor an intern from one to three years to accomplish their training and be established into a leadership position within the church, to replant churches or to open new churches in areas that would benefit from such ministry in its entirety. To date two churches have been replanted, two new churches opened, one received a lead pastor position and the remaining leadership position within the church, with some for potential new church plant. We have committed to sponsoring seven Interns to the end of 2025.

Fellowship Bible Church

 SCA began sponsoring Jonathan Killoran at Fellowship Bible Church, New Hamburg, ON. We are please to report that he has moved on to be the lead Pastor of Emmanuel Baptist Church in Chatham, ON. His influenced during his time at Fellowship has caused the church to almost double in size where they needed to run two services on Sundays. This opened up the need of hiring a new Intern to assist in the growth at FBC. Through SCA's sponsorship they hired Kai Johnson, an associate pastor.  Word spread to the surrounding community and FBC saw the need to replant a church in the nearby small town of Baden, ON. God orchestrated His plan and send Nathan Kapteyn. Again through the sponsorship progran of SCA this opportunity became a reality and Baden Central is now active and running in the town of Baden, ON. We see a community given a place to attend and worship God, to explore their talents and use them for His service, ultimately building God's kingdom. Please prayerfully consider financially supporting Kai Johnson and Nathan Kapteyn. You may do so be contacting our SCA office.

 Mile One Mission 

We want to see Gospel-centred churches raised up from St. John’s to Bonavista; Gander to Clarenville; Salmon Cove to Upper Middle Cove, from Port Aux Basques to St. Anthony and from GooseBay to Nain. As Jesus said ‘go’ (Matt 28:19-20) it is our conviction to be His witness (Acts 1:8), proclaim the Gospel (Luke 24:47), and see His Kingdom come. — Mile One Mission.

SCA have sponsored eight Interns from Calvary Baptist Church/ Mile One Mission, NL since the start of this initiative, to carry the Gospel in Newfoundland and Labrador.
Since 2019, two new churches have started in Newfoundland and one replanted in Labrador:
1) Matthew Lahley planted the Kilbride Community Church in Kilbride, NL.
2) Adam Diamond planted the Downtown Community Church in Downtown St John's, NL.
3) John Lewis re-planted Northern Cross Community Church in Happy Valley Goose Bay, Labrador. You may do so be contacting our SCA office.

SCA assisted in sponsoring Interns to work full time alongside the above leaders as well as receive training themselves for future leadership positions or church plant.  These included David Drover, Kurtis Rogers, Robert Noble and Jasmine Harpur. SCA is comitted to supporting three Interns up to the end of 2025. They are Adam Diamond and Matthew Rogers, both in NL and John Lewis in LB. Please prayerfully consider financially supporting our Mile One Mission Interns. Please prayerfully consider financially supporting Kai Johnson and Nathan Kapteyn. You may do so be contacting our SCA office.

Emmanuel Baptist Church, Chatham

"Drawing nearer to Jesus, we passionately pursue those far from Him to become His church. This is summarized in the great commission of Jesus as ‘make disciples’.  

We connected with Emmanuel Baptish Church through our former Intern Jonathan Kiloran at Fellowship Bible Church, New Hamburg, Ontario. Jonathan who successfully completed seminary and training at FBC moved on to the lead pastor position at EBC, ON and the children ministry was significantly larger. This opened the need of an Assistant Children's director which was made possible through SCA's intern sponsorship program. The children ministry have grown since and a mid-week children's program was added where children from the community attend and learn about Jesus love for them along with fun activities. Meet Miranda Martin who grew up in the church and is now an intern involved in growing the church through the children's ministry.  Please prayerfully consider financially supporting Miranda Martin. You may do so be contacting our SCA office.
