STEP is a global discipleship program that provides churches with the opportunity to engage more significantly in global mission through a three-way partnership with CBM and one of its global partners.

Being a STEP church is more than just participating in a cross-cultural experience or financially supporting mission. It means being open to where God is at work in our world and becoming active participants in it through the ministries of CBM and your global church partner.

At the heart of STEP is a commitment to forming deeper relationships with believers from another part of the world – sharing life, learning from each other, giving and receiving. Foundational to the STEP partnership is the principle of mutual learning. This commitment can deeply impact the life of both your church and the global partner. Through the STEP experience your church may develop a renewed ministry focus within its congregation, local community and the world.

The congregations of Mount Hamilton Baptist Church, Little Bethel Community Church, and Wentworth Baptist Church, in partnership with Canadian Baptist Ministries has committed to facilitating ministry in Lebanon through the Lebanese Society for Educational & Social Development (LSESD). This commitment involves prayer, financial support, and physically sending people on STM teams.

Through this partnership you support all of the work that we do together in Lebanon. At the same time, you have made the decision to focus your efforts by supporting Baptist Children’s and Youth Ministry

The Lebanese Society for Educational & Social Development (LSESD) seeks to be a light of Christ’s love in their country and region, especially among the marginalized. They offer a range of ministries to create opportunities and environments where individuals and communities can develop and grow into their full, God-given potential.
