New Leaf Design Shop - Fall 2021
A New Leaf Design Shop is an interactive gathering of Church Planters and their core teams.
This is not your mother’s cookie-cutter “10 Easy Steps to Planting a Church” kind of event. This event is interactive and uniquely Canadian. It encourages contextual thinking, cultural responsiveness, and mission adaptability. Attention is paid to place and the particulars of each community while also being aware of broad Canadian themes like secularity and reconciliation.
If you are looking for help, a chance to think out your plan, and to hear lifesaving advice for the road ahead, the Design Shop is for you.
