Listening to the Echo (United Church of Canada)


Based on nearly 500 responses from across Canada, the first webinar will identify spiritual themes in this population, the challenges that they present for congregational ministry, and discuss the implications for ministry and leadership.

Learning from Listening — Emerging Ministries and Fresh Expressions

As a nominee for Moderator in 2012, Tom Sherwood spoke of “a vision of the United Church in the future with fewer congregations but more ministries.” In the second webinar, he will take some of the “learning from listening” and relate them to examples of new expressions in ministry, such as Faith and Arts Ottawa, The Open Table, Faith House Ottawa, and The god Monologues.

New faith communities are forming, not based on postal code and kinship. How are they forming? Who is joining them? What are they doing? Can the Church connect with them? What can we learn that will strengthen our ministry in God’s mission? The second webinar will be a lively discussion of ministries that are “biblical but not traditional” – at least not easily visible in the 20th-century traditions of The United Church of Canada.

Pioneering Leadership (United Church of Canada)


The webinar looks at 2 key issues:

1. What is a pioneering leader.

There are lots of suggestions of what leaders should be doing but little trying to analyze what pioneering leaders might look like. Presenter David Male will suggest there is not one simple answer to this question but some key issues to consider which impact the ministry of leaders greatly whatever their particular gifting. He will look at both biblical and practical material to help people approach this vital issue. He will particularly look at the ministry of Jesus to see what clues this might afford in his role as ‘pioneer and perfector of our faith.'(Hebrews 12:2)

2. What are the icebergs pioneering leaders face?

This section will examine the key issues that often trip up aspiring pioneers. David is very aware that pioneering leaders are often more susceptible to burn out and fall out so what are the issues that lurk under the surface but may easily cause a huge crash for unsuspecting leaders.

Getting Small Groups Right (United Church of Canada)


Small groups and peer mentoring is far and away the most effective strategy to mature Christians, include newer and younger people, and empower volunteers. But it isn’t easy to transition a traditional committee and task-based church into a small group church. This webinar coaches the basic principles and strategies for small groups in mainstream churches, and will allow plenty of time for sharing stumbling blocks and issues, and help people solve the problems and kick-start personal growth.

Intercultural Ministries (United Church of Canada)


In 2006, The United Church of Canada made a commitment to becoming an intercultural church. Now, years later, how do people understand “intercultural”? How can people effectively engage with difference?

Presented by Adele Halliday, this webinar will be an interesting introduction to intercultural ministries, as well as offer helpful ideas for people who have already begun exploring what intercultural means in their congregations.

This webinar can help congregational leaders feel equipped to create intercultural spaces that are welcoming of diverse cultural communities. It will explore practical ways of what congregations can do around intercultural ministries, and will have tools, ideas, and resources for congregations.
