About

Our team identifies and supports discerning church starters, church starters and existing churches as they join the mission of God through the natural and historical lifecycle of starting new churches. This growing collective of leaders is a multi-denominational community of innovators that share a common culture and set of practices created to thoughtfully start new churches in Winnipeg and the wider area.

Cyclical Winnipeg is an initiative of the Presbytery of Winnipeg, which is committed to supporting leaders and new worshipping communities. A beta test of Cyclical in Winnipeg occurred in 2019, took a break at the beginning of the pandemic, and restarted in 2022.

The Presbytery of Winnipeg covers a large geographic area: east to Kenora, north to Thompson, west to Winnipeg, and south to the US border. These lands are within Treaties 1, 3, and 5, and are the home of the Cree, Oji-Cree, Dene, Lakota, Dakota, Anishinaabe, and Manitoba Métis peoples. We respect the Treaties that were made on these territories, and we acknowledge the harms and mistakes of the past and the present. We strive to build relationships with Indigenous communities in the spirit of relationship and reconciliation, in hopes of a more beautiful and just future.

Cyclical Winnipeg is also in partnership with Cyclical, Inc. and The Presbyterian Church in Canada. There are Cyclical chapters located across North America, Europe and Africa. Click here to find a Cyclical network near you.
