Where:
The New World Inklings house, in the living room. Contact for directions.

Truth Considered and Applied
Our longtime friend, Dr. Stewart Kelly, is the source of all the trouble. Or fun, if you like books. In honour of his decades of private library curation, from which our shelves now benefit, we begin with his book on how we can be assured of Christianity’s reality and historical substance.
Study Sundays
What:
Quiet time in the library and living room to study, read, or knit.
Why:
The house is open to students, especially internationals, to come feel at home in a relaxed Canadian friendship space. Chinese-language support available!
When:
Tentatively planned for the fourth Sunday afternoon of each month, beginning January 2026.
Where:
The New World Inklings house. Contact for directions.
Continuing Education Courses
NWI offers continuing education courses designed to provide a small-group mentorship environment.
Current offerings are surveys of Christian foundations. We can also build specialized materials based on demand. Click here for more info.
Ethnos Establish
Ethnos Establish is a foundational, year-long mentorship group that takes you through the big picture of the Bible and allows you to question and compare ideas. So that conversation can occur, Establish has a maximum seating of 8-10 participants.
Establish is a truly Canadian encounter around the table, designed and shaped by and for both aboriginal and non-aboriginal people.
We work with Faith Fellowship Baptist Church in Brandon, MB to offer Establish 101 groups. Our next start date will be no sooner than January, 2026.
Dungeons and Dragons
What:
A casual, family-friendly D&D group. Think Narnia, not The Witcher.
Who:
Young adult and up. Group is currently full.
How:
With hilarity. Games are structured as one- to three-shots. Players are unabashedly ridiculous.
When:
Approximately every 6 to 8 weeks. Contact for details.
