Shared Way, Shared Witness

Posted: February 18, 2026 |

This three day gathering for lay and rostered leaders focuses on developing the skills, relationships, and theological imagination needed for collaborative ministry in a rapidly changing church. Together, we will explore two central questions: What is the church for, now? and What ministry do we need to sustain a vital Christian presence in communities across Canada? Through keynote presentations – including from Rev. Dr. Kayko Driedger Hesslein, Lutheran Theological Seminary, Saskatoon – workshops, and structured conversations, participants will engage emerging models of church and ministry that move beyond the colonial, Christendom patterns we have inherited. 

More information is available at https://www.sharedway.ca/
The early registration deadline is March 20.
