Our Staff

Serving God Around the World

CBM’s International Staff are at the forefront of fulfilling our vision of a broken world made new. They fulfill the vital role of bridging people and projects across the globe. Together in partnership, our International Staff work through an integrated approach with our partners and local churches all around the world in the areas of building the church, kids at risk, justice, poverty, and crisis response.

CBM’s Canadian Staff work from our head office located in Mississauga, ON, as well as regionally in both Western and Atlantic Canada. Our Canadian Staff work closely and collaboratively with churches across Canada, supporting their mission endeavours as well as their local engagement within the community.
