How did the project start?
The Canadian Multivocational Ministry Project was a multi-denominational and multi-agency research project designed to better understand the wide variety of patterns of ministry which combine paid and unpaid leadership responsibilities in Canadian congregations (established or developing) for the purpose of better providing training and resources. New Leaf’s multivocational resources have grown out of the insights gleaned from this research effort!
Negotiating New Realities
As realities change, unspoken expectations can be toxic to a successful ministry relationship. The research from the Canadian Multivocational Ministry Project actually has a lot to say about how to negotiate clear expectations between pastors and their congregations, as Multivocational ministers have learned what works when making space for an additional vocation. Canadian Multivocational Ministry Project stakeholders share their takeaways in a New Leaf Learning Centre Session.
