What might this look like? Talking with Brian Westnedge and Kirk Cowman about what a merger with Living Hope could look like.

Guests Kirk Cowman and Brian Westnedge join us on the pod this week to tackle these questions about the future of our church! What are you anticipating the church landscape will look like in Canada as we emerge from COVID? How did the transition team arrive at the proposed merger document? Is this a done deal? What happens to MJAC Vision and Values statements? What are Living Hope’s Vision and Core Behaviors? Where might a creative ‘out of the church box’ experimenter find a fit in the LH vision statement? What is LH’s practice with women in leadership? How will Sunday services be put together post-merger? (Who will preach?) Will LH staff oversee the MJ ministry areas such as worship ministry and children’s ministry? What happens to our current staff? What happens if we discern and vote NOT to merge? Is there a plan B? Please circle your calendars and register for the upcoming Listening Gatherings on June 6 (in-person) and June 9 (via Zoom). Discernment Gatherings on June 14 (in-person) and June 22 (via Zoom).
