EAST REGION
The RMMC is the Regional Ministry and Mission Council, allowing congregations, pastors and workers from Windsor to Timmins and from Sudbury to St John’s to care for one another and to work together in faith, hope and love under the Word of God.
What’s unique about LCC’s East Region?
The East Region is often not as spread out as other parts of Synod. While there are not great distances that separate most of us–with the exception of the 3,000 km wide Ottawa Circuit, including our isolated congregations in Northern Ontario, francophone Quebec, and Atlantic Canada–there are many differences in the communities of our congregations. We have congregations in densely populated urban settings, in small towns and in rural areas across our six eastern provinces. Each of these have their own strengths, opportunities, and challenges. We have a history of working together in support of the unique needs of congregations in each of these areas. There is a strong emphasis on Word and Sacrament as the means which our Lord has promised to create, strengthen, and nourish saving faith. We seek to support congregations and Pastors as they use these means in service. The Lord has also developed a spirit of seeking out opportunities for outreach and new ministries among us. The Lord has blessed this Region with very skilled and dedicated Pastors and lay leaders over the years. Many of these are still in positions of service and leadership. Those who are not, readily make themselves available to consult when asked. – Rev. Marvin Bublitz, LCC East Regional Pastor (source)
