Campus Centre
Why build a new gym?
Because the old one is increasingly unsafe!
Snow on the inside
Structure is rotting
Not up to today’s standards

We broke ground on the
Ethnos Campus Centre.
Now we need your help.
More than 6,000 people groups are still unreached. Ethnos Canada helps local churches mobilize, equip, and coordinate missionaries to these people.
Need
In 1942, Ethnos Canada was founded as New Tribes Mission. Since 1968, we have been mobilizing, equipping, and supporting believers for cross-cultural church planting at our campus in Durham, Ontario.
In 1972, a rustic pole structure was built using local trees. This building has served the campus for 50 years as a conference centre and gymnasium, but it is no longer cost-effective to maintain nor operate. A replacement building is needed.
With your support of this multi-purpose building, more believers will be challenged to engage in the Great Commission at recruitment events, more missionary candidates will be equipped for cross-cultural church planting, and more missionaries on the front-lines will be provided the support they need.
Ultimately, the people groups who today are unreached will hear the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Possible delay in receiving your gift
It can take up to 10 days for Ethnos Canada to receive gifts given through the website, as there is a 'pending' period for credit cards. Only after your gift is received at our bank do we credit donations to the designated ministry. It is possible that an online donation made near the end of the month will not be credited to the designated ministry until the following month.
This Multi-Purpose Building will Enable:
- Ethnos to host church youth groups for missions-exposure opportunities.
- A gymnasium for our K-12 school and for our staff and students in missionary training.
- Ethnos to invite community groups onto our campus to expose them to why we exist.
- Ethnos to hold mission conferences again.
- Missionaries and missionary candidates to have life-on-life discipleship outside of the classroom.
The Old Gym Is Still Getting Used Daily
The New Gym Has Been Closed-in and the Heat Is On

Why Partner with Ethnos Canada?
There is a very real need for well-trained and well-served missionaries to answer the cry from unreached people groups to move in and serve among them.
For nearly 80 years, Ethnos has demonstrated its ability to assist the local church in effectively planting churches by mobilizing, equipping and coordinating missionaries. These missionaries have evangelized unreached people groups, translated the Scriptures, and established indigenous New Testament churches.
Ethnos is recognized throughout the missions community for its excellence and thoroughness, and we have been continually improving.
It is now time to improve the Durham campus with a new multi-purpose building.
We have a long legacy of making necessary improvements without incurring debt. This has been accomplished by utilizing the skills, talents and gifts of our personnel and a faithful team of ministry partners and friends.
Your Partnership is Needed
With your support of this multi-purpose building, more believers will be challenged to engage in the Great Commission at recruitment events, more missionary candidates will be equipped for cross-cultural church planting, and more missionaries on the front lines will be provided the support they need.
Ultimately, the people groups who today are unreached will hear the gospel of Jesus Christ.
