Next Conference: INCREASE WEST Church Planting Intensive - Vancouver
September 28, 2023
VANCOUVER, BC | 8am - 4pm (schedule)
Join us this September for a special one-day INCREASE Intensive focused on Church Planting. INCREASE gatherings are to help equip and network church lay leaders, new ordinands and those curious about ordination. Church planting is one of our diocesan top priorities and we’re excited to delve more into the topic together.
AMMiC Ministry Conference
We’re running this event in partnership with AMMiC’s (the Asian and Multicultural Ministries in Canada) upcoming Ministry Conference on September 29-30. AMMiC’s conference this year is entitled “Jump Starting Multi-Ethnic Mission: A New Breath for Cross-Cultural Ministries” and we’re very hopeful that many will attend both events which are both at Church of the Good Shepherd. After registering for our INCREASE day please consider registering for the AMMiC conference here.
About Our Intensive Day
PLANTING A CHURCH IS NO SMALL TASK
Whether you're discerning a call or several years into planting, we want to encourage your desire to form a church that's gospel-centered, sacramental and missional. We understand if you feel intimidated by the task—raising funds, gathering a launch team, discerning location...the list goes on.
COME GET EQUIPPED & BE ENCOURAGED!
At the Increase West Church Planting Intensive, come get equipped through teaching from experienced ministers and discussion with others.
You'll receive teaching and encouragement to help you plant in a way that's prayerful, faithful to Christ and context and that follows an Anglican perspective.
Come with your team to consider what God is calling you to together. The time together will include teaching, interaction, and discussion so that you might be inspired to draft a new ministry plan for the future.
Presenters include Archbishop Bob Duncan, Archdeacon Barnabas Emenogu and other church plant practitioners.
