transitional leadership ministry
Encouraging Healthy Transitions & Positive Change in the Church
We provide leaders, pastors, and coaches with training, resourcing and support so they can facilitate the congregational transition between pastors.
Senior leadership transitions provide an ideal opportunity to experience meaningful and positive change which can help ensure a fruitful ministry for the incoming senior leader.
Coming from a wide variety of Christian backgrounds, our extensive roster of trainedtransitional coaches from all across Canada can help your congregation navigate through the uncertainty of transition.
Transitional Leadership Ministry Training
A 3 day course to equip and orient leaders, pastors and coaches in the skills and mindset required to facilitate an intentional and purposeful transition within congregations going through pastoral transition.
Who should attend this course? Pastors involved in interim ministry, pastors considering intentional interim ministry and denominational leaders coaching congregations through transition.
Between Pastors: Seizing the Opportunityby Cam Taylor and Alan Simpson
“Times of pastoral transition are windows of opportunity. For a congregation that seizes the opportunity, they can be a transformational turning point toward greater healthandmissioneffectiveness.Welcominganewsenior pastor to a healthy, functioning, spiritually renewed congregation is a goal worth pursuing!” - from Between Pastors

grad and faculty ministry
Sparking lively dialogue about the powerful implications of the Christian faith for academic work and personal life, through scholarly campus forums and small group formation.
The Multiverse, Science and Theology: A Critical InquiryDate: Wednesday January 16, 2019 at 4:00 p.m. Location: Mathematics Room 100, UBCRobert Mann, Professor of Physics and Astronomy, University of Waterloo
Professor Mann explains multiverse theory and the implications that the acceptance of multiverse theory may have for science and theology. If the multiverse is rejected as an explanation for the particularity of our universe, scientists and theologians are left to address why our particular universe exists rather than every universe.
The Tao of Right and Wrong: Rediscovering Humanity’s Moral FoundationsDate: Wednesday March 13, 2019 at 4:00 p.m.Location: Mathematics Room 100, UBCDennis Danielson, Professor Emeritus English UBC PRAYER
UBC Graduate Student Prayer Wednesdays 12:00pm - 1:30pm
Interested in a weekly Women’s Global Prayer Meeting? Contact [email protected]
Written in the tradition of The Abolition of Man, C. S. Lewis’s classic work on moral philosophy celebrating itsseventy-fifthanniversaryin2018,TheTaoofRightandWrong addresses questions such as: What is just? What is right? What is wrong? What purposes, and what virtues, are worth pursuing? And most importantly, how can we weigh answers to these questions without lapsing into, “That’s only your opinion”?
NEW BOOK: Mapping the Futureby Gord Carkner
As we look to the future, there is an urgent need to think critically, creatively and constructively about Christian formation, spiritual growth and kingdom faithfulness.
Spiritual transformation involves our loves, our core values and thoughts, habits and lifestyle, producing a robust, relevant and culturally engaging faith.
The Great Escape From Nihilismby Gord Carkner

living theology
John B. MacDonald’s popular blog site, living theology (johnbmacdonald.com), exists to equip and encourage you to become more like Jesus Christ and to live all of life with God-honoring competence and joy.
We all “do” theology whether we know it or not - even atheists. We all have a position on God, and that position informs and directs how we live. Our theology needs to be living, and we are called to be living that theology.
“Whoever claims to live in Him must walk as Jesus did“ (1 John 2:6).
Listening Well to Matthew is a free resource available to subscribers of living theology. It is an introduction to the forthcoming book Reclaiming Matthew’s Paradigm for Making Disciples.
A reader of an advance copy of Matthew’s Paradigm says, “I went home hungry to dig into Matthew and your book is a tool that has not been set down as I am desiring to become a disciple maker.”
If you prefer listening to reading, John also has a weekly Living Theology podcast on Hope Stream Radio.

Muslims in Canada have limited experience with Christian friends, Bibles in their heart language and interaction with a local church community--all of these are key factors in the journey of Muslims who have chosen to leave Islam to follow Jesus Christ. With 1.7million Muslims in Canada, no one group can meet this need alone. That’s why Loving Muslims Together (formerly the Canadian Network of Ministries to Muslims) rallies and supports the Canadian church to help all Muslims in Canada have the opportunity to become disciples of Jesus Christ.
Find a local network or prayer group near you at www.lovingmuslimstogether.ca.
Loving a Mosque Community Together

• Canada is home to an estimated 1.690,000 Muslims; 4.6% of the total population.
• There are approximately 650 mosques in Canada.

why not canada?
Some of the most exciting movements to Christ around the world are happening outside of Canada. They are called Disciple Making Movements and God is using this phenomenon to bring millions to a life of following Jesus. These movements focus on prayer, the discovery of Biblical truth in small groups and multiplication led by ordinary people. Canada needs a movement like this!
Join us on an exploratory journey into the steps of starting a disciple making movement in your own back yard. We are drawing on the expertise of Canadians and leaders from around the world. We are forming Coaching Circles to train, mentor and encourage groups of people who are like minded abouttheneedforaDiscipleMakingMovementinCanada.Aninitialfivesessionintroductioncanbearranged by contacting the following:

Participants of this course will learn how to adopt a Missional Lifestyle and how to become the able workers that we need to be in order to win others to Christ.
