Adjunct Faculty in Christian Ministry
Find Jesus in your day to day - spend time with Him, listen for Him, be loved by Him; then, out of that space, minister.

CM 600 Spiritual Formation for Ministry
Teaching Philosophy
We learn from each other as we gather around a subject, listening for the voice of God – the gentle guiding of the Spirit, the compassion of Jesus, the love of the Father – as it can be heard in each of us. Learning then becomes more than just about information; it becomes an exercise in transformation – involving intellect, affection, and will.
Background
I have over 20 years of ministry experience both in the local church and parachurch ministries. I discovered part way through my vocational ministry experience the crucial importance of my own personal spiritual health and vitality. This led me to an emphasis on a personal, lived Christian spirituality and vocationally to the founding of Renovaré Canada. I presently serve as the executive director of Renovaré Canada and as an Associate Pastor at First Baptist Church in Regina, SK.
