BARNABAS MISSIONS
Barnabas Missions is WMB’s expression
of local Outreach and mission.
Our community of disciples seeks Kingdom transformation in KW as we engage in local mission focussed on serving people who are marginalized – specifically those experiencing poverty, refugees and new Canadians. Learn about our different Barnabas ministries and opportunities to get involved below.
Barnabas Individual Supports
Journeying toward holistic, long-term wellbeing
Through Barnabas Individual Supports, WMB Church invests in the lives of people in our community who are facing financial difficulty and are also committed to seeking long-term well-being and a better financial situation for themselves. We know this can be a difficult journey, so we want to be there for participants every step of the way. We provide financial assistance while walking with program participants through regular one-on-one meetings where trained Barnabas Coaches from WMB Church work with participants to prepare realistic budgets, set goals, offer encouragement and pray.

Barnabas North Waterloo
The focus of our North Waterloo branch of Barnabas Ministries is creating opportunities to build relationships with people living in low-income neighbourhoods near our Waterloo site through a variety of fun, skill developing programs for all ages. Our hope is that through building personal relationships and trust, we’ll have opportunities to invite people into the life and community of WMB, and ultimately, into a relationship with Jesus.

Wumba kids camp
Wumba Kids Camp is a super-fun, full-day camp for kids entering Grades 1-6. Throughout the years, Wumba has the same aim - that our campers get to experience the life-changing love of Jesus through the friendships they make, the scripture they explore and the leaders who invest in their lives. Whatever background or faith you come from, we invite you to join in the fun this summer to see what God has in store!
Get involved
There are many ways to get involved at Wumba Kids Camp including camp leadership, camp counsellors, LIT program, and volunteer opportunities! Click here to find out more!
Urban Ministry
The vision of Urban Ministry is to break down the walls of “us and them”. Our dream is to see people become brothers and sisters through ADOPTION in Christ and experience the wellbeing the family of God has to offer! We aim to accomplish this dream through PRESENCE & RELATIONSHIP both in our church and neighbourhood. The Kitchener Site neighbourhood has many challenges like homelessness, addiction & displacement. Urban Ministry invests in caring for individuals through equipping people to be intentionally present and establishing healthy relationships in our neighbourhood and with our agency partners like Ray of Hope Community Centre & Safe Families.
Get involved
Interested in training on what it means to live out the way of Jesus in downtown Kitchener through PRESENCE, RELATIONSHIP & ADOPTION? Or want to learn more about what it looks like to partner with our local agencies? Fill out the contact form below or contact Mike Brnjas, Pastor, Barnabas Urban Ministry.
