The Ministry Benefits and Personal Growth that Came from Using Participatory Action Research to Develop a Workshop for Cree Mentors
No full textBibliography: leaves 204-213.This Doctor of Ministry (DMin) Research Portfolio details the author’s development as a leader throughout the program via his Leadership Narrative, Ministry Context Analysis, Project Report, and Philosophy of Leadership. His research project consisted of using Participatory Action Research (PAR) methods to develop a mentoring workshop for Cree adults. Using PAR methods caused him to revisit his assumptions and alter the way he designed and ran the workshop, which increased participants’ confidence in ways that he did not originally anticipate. This experience, alongside other elements of the DMin program and developments in his leadership responsibilities, led him to identify his calling as leading intergenerational and intercultural reconciliation using communal discernment processes. Alongside demonstrating how spiritual experiences, faithful mentors, Christian community, and formal education can enable an individual to overcome a difficult upbringing and become a capable Christian leader, this portfolio offers insights into the value of using PAR and similar processes for improving ministry endeavours in an indigenous context.Thesis (D.Min.)--Tyndale University, 2020.For AODA accommodation, including help with reading this content, please contact [email protected] is a research portfolio submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Ministry, Tyndale University.Introduction -- Leadership Narrative -- Ministry Context Analysis -- Project Report -- Philosophy of Christian Leadership -- Conclusio
Implementing the Appreciative Inquiry Approach to Revitalize the Church of Pentecost Canada
No full textBibliography: leaves 123-126.The Church of Pentecost Canada is an ethnic Pentecostal denomination with roots from Ghana. Over the last thirty years she has grown numerically, spiritually and geographically across Canada. However, the church is confronted with the need to reflect and explore how to be more relevant to the ever-changing church and Canadian culture. This portfolio reflects the exegesis of the context of ministry of the church at McKeown Worship Centre in Toronto and the branch in Edmonton. It focuses on strengths, challenges and opportunities, philosophy of leadership, and a research project that initially began with a heightened interest towards exploring soul care and social action. The research project used a guided Appreciative Inquiry approach to enable participants to identify, design, and implement integrative initiatives. A greater awareness and urgency for more social engagements with the wider Canadian community have been created among a cross-section of church leadership. There is the need to use the principles of Appreciative Inquiry further to engage the whole church to develop more contextual and intentional strategic approaches to revitalization.Thesis (D.Min.)--Tyndale University, 2020.For AODA accommodation, including help with reading this content, please contact [email protected] Note: The pdf file for this dissertation will be uploaded shortly.This is a research portfolio submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Ministry, Tyndale University.Introduction -- Context -- Philosophy of Christian Leadership -- Field Ministry Project -- Conclusion

How God's Ongoing Work Through Preaching Can Impact a Congregation
No full textBibliography: leaves 201-206.This portfolio describes the way that God's transforming work in the life of a preacher can impact a congregation. It focuses specifically on a preacher's life, context, and congregation and God's work in each of these areas.
Chapter 1 serves as the introduction to this portfolio. Chapter 2 offers My Personal Preaching Identity, which describes my own identity and transformation as a preacher, my sense of call, spiritual gifting, and theological tradition. It contains my theology of preaching, which has been informed by my personal experiences as well as course work, readings, and mentors drawn from church history. Chapter 3, My Preaching Context, describes the congregation I serve. North Park Community Church, as well as the broader community setting and city. This background was used to propose a preaching strategy and a yearly preaching menu that would meaningfully and appropriately address this unique congregation. My Preaching Field Project, found in chapter 4, is a personalized preaching project implemented in my home church to determine the impact that the preaching is having on the spiritual transformation of a certain demographic of our church. The results identified a transformative impact on this demographic but also revealed some important learnings for preachers about the content and delivery of the sermon. Chapter 5, the conclusion, summarizes the content of this portfolio and describes the way in which I have accomplished the four outcomes of the Doctor of Ministry program.Thesis (D.Min.)--Tyndale University, 2020.For AODA accommodation, including help with reading this content, please contact [email protected] is a research portfolio submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Ministry, Tyndale University.Introduction -- My personal preaching identity -- My preaching context -- Preaching field project -- Conclusio

Case Study in Adult Discipleship Stories of Apprenticeship to Jesus at an Urban Anglican (Episcopal) Church
No full textAnglican (Episcopal) churches around the world face a serious problem in discipleship and have called for a season of “intentional discipleship and disciple-making.” The Anglican Church of Canada renewed its emphasis on discipleship, providing some helpful resources, but there are no studies of how discipleship may be experienced at a congregational level. This study focuses on an Anglican church, identified as a leader in discipleship ministry. Through in-depth interviews and observations of formative events, I sought to discover how this congregation understood discipleship, engaged its Anglican tradition, lived and nurtured its reality in their urban context.1-22This a revised manuscript version of an article first published in Christian Education Journal (September 2020): 1-23.For AODA accommodation, including help with reading this content, please contact [email protected]://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/0739891320959084Revised Manuscript Version (MV
