Canadian Revitalization has Begun

Many of you may have heard of the “Congregational Revitalization Ministry” initiative being undertaken by the Community of Christ in Canada. Information had been circulated to Pastors earlier in the summer. A posting for four “Revitalization Minsters” appeared on the Canadian church website (both Canada East and Canada West mission centres) for much of the summer. And Kerry Richards, President of Canada East Mission Centre, made a presentation about it at our Mission Conference in Saskatoon last month. This is an update on the hiring process.

Four Revitalization Ministers have been chosen and training for their new positions has begun. The majority of the group participated in the MEADS (Ministerial Education And Discipleship Studies) program at the Kitchener, Ontario, Community of Christ in September. The two courses they took were “Introduction to Spirituality” and “Mission and Evangelism,” which are in essence the alpha and omega of Revitalization. Their first stop as a team will be the Hamilton Community of Christ congregation where they, along with CEM President and Revitalization Project Leader, Kerry Richards, will be embedded in the congregation from October 1 to the end of 2015. They will engage with the congregation and facilitate with them invitational ministries within the surrounding community. Training will be hands-on, with faith in the Spirit's leadings and utilizing the giftedness of the congregation and those skill-sets which they have awaited their whole lives to put into action.

The Revitalization Ministers are: Russ Pirie, Wende Badder, Troy Roach and Bryce Huffman, all from congregations in Canada East Mission Centre. Stay tuned for more great news of what is happening in Hamilton and that can happen in your congregation. REVITALIZATION!!

All four RMs will be placed with four different congregations in Canada East Mission in January. The intention has been to involve congregations in Canada West Mission as well. Initial consultation with congregations in CWM during the summer resulted in interest being expressed in the program by a few congregations. More preparation is required with the congregations contemplating this commitment. Watch for possible involvement by CWM congregations in September 2016 or January 2017.
