Deep Dive - A Time for Ministry Personnel

A LeaderSHIFT offering with United Church of Canada Growth Animator, Rev. Scott Reynolds, and LeaderSHIFT’s Rev. Michelle Slater.

A Time of Community, Discernment, and Celebration

How did you embrace ministry during the pandemic, and what did you learn? What do we want to lament, and what do we want to ask God’s blessings on? How can we support one another in the challenging work of ministry leadership today? All PMRC-United Church ministers are encouraged to arrive to Vancouver BC to the AGM one day early -- to join this Deep Dive gathering! This is dedicated time for you, as ministers, to connect and tend our call to ministry and leadership, here and now, in this time and place, with all that is before you and the church.

For All in Leadership

Whether you’re paid or volunteering, staffing a community of faith or un-churched organization, focused on children & family ministry or serving older generations, this conference centers anti-racism principles and actions in your leadership.

You can expect

  • Varied learning formats and thoughtfully chosen content to engage key learnings, focus work, and empower action in your leadership.

  • A Christ-centered conference fostering connection and relationship with other leaders who are also working for an anti-racist church.

  • Discovery-based questions and reflection opportunities will help you to compassionately and faithfully examine your own ministry and leadership in your specific setting.

  • An introduction to the materials from the new United Church of Canada resource for children and youth, Becoming an Anti-Racist Church.

  • A convergence of your personal and professional call to anti-racism, with others like you – all seeking a new way of being church.​
