The three-year program focuses on “Forming and Reforming Communities of Christ in a Secular Age” with the first year specifically exploring “Missional foundations during Covid and Beyond”. The aim of this program is to resource, strengthen and widen the ministry of the churches across denominations or networks. Each month, a learning opportunity is made available for church pastors, leaders and community developers.

Creating Conversation: A weekly editorial for people to spark dialogue with the Church in Vancouver. How do we foster better conversations among different churches and Christ followers in Vancouver about issues that matter? That question in part is what has prompted Tim to work alongside Flyn Ritchie in curating an opinion editorial column most weeks in the Church for Vancouver. In this column, different people will be invited to speak to the Church in metro Vancouver. Our hope is to invite people who have an important word for our city to write an op/ed that will stimulate our imaginations for how we might share in God’s restoring work in our city.
