When The Way Church first began as an idea a few years ago, it was clear that God was calling us to be a church with capacity & vision to multiply and to serve the church across Canada.
We feel called to do that through 3 primary ways:
CHURCH MULTIPLICATION & REVITALIZATION
Over the next decade, we have a strategy to multiply ministry here in Vancouver by launching new sites across our city, planting churches and revitalizing existing churches.
RAISING UP THE NEXT GENERATION OF LEADERS AND PASTORS
We want to continue to see vibrant ministry happen at The Way and across the church in Canada. This requires intentional investment in leadership development, primarily outworked through creating programs designed for pastors & leaders to be trained early and over a long period of time. Though it will look different at various points along the journey, the goal is to equip pastors & leaders for the unique challenges and opportunities of pastoral leadership & ministry.
RESOURCING THE CHURCH IN CANADA
Our heart is to serve and resource pastors & churches across Canada in order to see a healthy church for the next generation of Canadians. Alongside the work of the Pastorate and in conjunction with The Way College, we want to continue to create, produce and release high quality theology & discipleship content.
This year…
We’re focusing on several projects that will foster growth & depth—in our church and beyond:
Investing in leadership development programs; producing, developing and releasing content for pastors and leaders across Canada; seeding funds for future sites of The Way, and developing language translation pathways for international communities within our church.
-
Our Ministry Apprenticeship program is designed to give real-life ministry opportunities to young leaders across Canada who feel a strong call to full-time vocational ministry. As the quality of candidates increases, we are continuing to refine the program through further integration with The Way College, extending the duration of the apprenticeship, and hiring 5 apprentices.
-
As our team writes, teaches, and develops resources for our church and The Way College, we want to be better equipped to share these resources with the Canadian church. Through a digital platform for The Way College classes, investing in production equipment, and creating capacity on our team to produce this work while remaining faithful to our local church, we hope to strengthen ministers, make disciples, and equip the Church.
-
Part of the specific mandate of our church is to be multi-site, allowing us to reach new neighbourhoods, raise & empower apprenticing pastors, and revitalize churches. We are preparing to launch another site of The Way with an estimated cost of 150K, 80K of which we raised last year. This cost represents investment in equipment, infrastructure, and team.
-
We want to continue to help make a way for pastors to be refreshed, connect meaningfully with one another, and be equipped for ministry in their unique contexts. In partnership with The Pastorate and through gatherings like The Way Open House, these funds represent staffing, rent, production, hospitality and other costs required to host these pastors.
-
Vancouver is a diverse city, and we want to be increasingly aware of the different language communities within our city—welcoming new-comers to Canada and serving those who don’t speak English as a first language. Live language translation technology allows us to reach new people groups and serve our city well.
