43 BC CRCs
5 Callings
Curating, Connecting, Collaborating
1Life exists to curate a curriculum of resources that equips individuals and congregations to become increasingly whole-hearted, vibrant communities of Christian worship, discipling & mission.

1Life FOUNDATIONS
1Life is keen to provide resources that connect to a clear vision of flourishing Christian spirituality in the Reformed tradition. We trust that the five callings named by our denomination’s synod as ‘streams of renewal’ truly do help us recover the grand narrative of God’s mission and our place in it. They provide us with a holistic framework to consider spiritual maturity; and they give our BC CRCs a shared vocabulary to speak about the training we need in order to be life-long learners who keep growing up in Christ.
1Life Book Conversation Cohort 2026-27
No matter how familiar you are with the Bible, reading this book described as a fascinating, sprawling, love-song to the Bible is sure to give you fresh perspectives.
All are welcome at the table of God
For Christ brings peace to all,
tearing down every hostile wall
so that the many may become one:
one heart
one family
one new humanity.
“May God’s Spirit hover over our chaos,
descend in our hearts with love and pleasure
and blow us out into the world to listen, to serve
and set us ablaze to forgive and reconcile.”
– A blessing inspired by Ephesians 2
