The organization was incorporated under the Society Act of British Columbia on June 27, 1986 and is a registered charity under the Canada Income Tax Act. Some of the programs that the PCDA uses to carry out this mission include:

The Menno Simons Centre: a residence for Christian college students who attend post-secondary institutions in the Vancouver area (UBC, Regent College, etc.). This program closed in May 2020, but we look forward to the opening of our new Menno Hall facility in a few years.
The Abendmusik Vesper Choir: an ensemble of approximately 20 singers from the Lower Mainland and Fraser Valley that provides an opportunity to worship and meditate with music, spoken word and silence
Programs: evening lecture series, Faith & Life Integration projects, etc.
