Our Vision & Mission
In 2021, the Centre for Redemptive Entrepreneurship (CRE) was established at Tyndale University with a mission to equip Christian entrepreneurs to build ventures that restore broken systems and reflect Christ’s character in their creation, leadership, and business impact. There are approximately 630,000 entrepreneurs of Christian faith in Canada, representing a significant potential to be activated and engage the marketplace as a mission field. The CRE has a calling to equip these builders to integrate faith into redemptive ventures in alignment with God’s heart for the world.
Our Vision
To see the movement of redemptive entrepreneurship widely adopted across Canada.
Our Mission
To equip, support, and mentor Christian entrepreneurs who are motivated by their faith to live out the gospel through their ventures.
