This SSHRC-funded project was a two-year provincial research collaboration to study and promote partnerships among faith-based groups and government-funded immigrant settlement organizations. Research activities included surveys, focus groups and case studies, while knowledge mobilization activities promoted effective faith/settlement partnership within policy and practice.

This evaluation was intended to inform and equip The Salvation Army to evaluate the value of including a chaplain within GTA courts. Evaluation activities included facilitating a logic model workshop with chaplains, designing the logic model, and creating evaluation tools.

CCBR developed an evaluation framework to evaluate The Salvation Army’s congregational life activities. These include discipleship, evangelistic, and outreach activities within the 52 corps located across Eastern Ontario.

The purpose of this SSHRC-funded project was to develop a national research partnership that investigated how to better equip church groups across Canada to help immigrants and refugees settle and integrate into Canadian society.

Partners pursed the goal of mobilizing members of the Christian Reformed Church toward greater engagement with social justice initiatives in their various communities across Canada. This project was funded by the SSHRC Partnership Development Grant.

The purpose of this project was to assess the commitment of Canadian Mennonite Central Committee supporters to advocacy that is directed toward government. This project served to build the advocacy capacity of MCC Canada within the context of its broader global mission of “sharing God’s love and compassion for all in the name of Christ by responding to the basic human needs and working for peace and justice.”

CCBR was contracted by the Christian Reformed Church in North America (CRCNA) to inform and advance the CRC’s justice mobilization efforts, which seek to encourage and enable members and congregations to embrace justice as mission.

CCBR worked with the First United Church in Waterloo to evaluate their senior’s outreach nutrition program. The program aimed to improve knowledge around healthy eating and meal preparation, social support, and independent living for seniors in a church community. Activities included a community kitchen and a lunch buddies program.

The purpose of this national research project was to 1) explore how and to what extent established Canadian churches welcome and include recent immigrants in their church-life, and 2) determine the necessary strategies and structures that would better facilitate the active participation of recent immigrants within Canadian churches. This project was funded by World Vision.
