Four general areas have been identified as special ministries or topics: work with minority groups, Indigenous Peoples, rural work and student ministries. Under the heading “Immigration and Ministry to Minority Groups,” there are records of ministries to Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Czechs, Tibetans, and other non-Canadians. Materials include discussion papers, correspondence, newspaper clippings and publications by the church.
Materials concerned with rural ministries include several rural surveys from different parts of the country for 1930, 1958, and other periods; reports published by the church on rural problems (both secular problems and institutional ones), and publications and newspaper clippings on these problems.

The material called 'Indian Work' appears to very small, but this is only related to the special ministries amongst Indigenous Peoples. It includes manuals on how to approach the work, materials developed for the work, reports and briefs presented by Indigenous communities and organizations to Parliament and similar materials.
