Caroline Durocher-Bergeron provides national leadership with Mission Canada as the Coordinator for Québec and Francophone Canada. In this role, she helps identify, equip, and mobilize workers to serve francophone communities across the country, strengthening local churches and resourcing leaders for greater mission impact. She collaborates with districts and churches to address strategic needs, build bridges between leaders, and launch innovative initiatives and partnerships that reach unreached regions and populations.

Caroline has served in pastoral and leadership roles for over 25 years, ministering in Haiti, Vancouver, Montréal, and now Sherbrooke, Québec, where she co-leads Église le Carrefour with her husband, Pascal. She has equipped leaders through national conferences, training programs, and mentoring networks, and continues to travel across Canada to strengthen francophone ministry expressions.

She is the founder of VIVID Academy, a coaching and mentorship ministry focused on leadership development, and Valeureuses, a francophone platform that equips women. Caroline holds a Bachelor’s in Theology (Institut Biblique du Québec), a Master’s in Leadership (Trinity Western University), and certifications in Life, Leadership, and Business Coaching. She is currently completing a Master’s in Ministry and Business to support the launch of new and impactful initiatives within the Canadian church.

Current areas of focus include the mental health needs of First Responders and their families, mental health education for faith leaders, and assisting churches to become more engaged in their communities. With a primary emphasis on Mississauga, Ontario, Canada's sixth largest city, the initiative serves to bring Christian leaders together and make new connections between and among those engaged in a variety of ministries.
