social issues

We believe it’s important to explore, discuss and learn about today’s social issues in order to better serve and assist Canadian families. We care about issues like government policy, sanctity of human life, poverty, abortion, addiction and cultural trends because these are the real-life issues impacting Canadian families. We believe God calls us to engage in culture and stand up for Biblical truth while representing His compassionate, loving character, and the value He has placed on all human life.
