HISTORY
The first gathering of the present network was on August 26, 2006 at Broadway Church. Eleven local churches were represented by 19 people. Participants expressed the needs of teachers, coordinators and shared their vision for an interdenominational network. They entrusted Janice Penner (Broadway, Vancouver) to facilitate the network until a leadership team was formed.
