Strengthening Pastors for the Renewal of the Church in Canada.

Being a pastor is often marked by loneliness, weariness, and confusion. But there’s hope.

We believe that healthy pastors lead to healthy churches, which bring transformation to towns, cities, provinces, and territories. The Pastorate exists to see pastors filled with hope, connected in friendship, and equipped to lead resilient churches that shape the future of Canada.

We seek to serve Pastors through:

Hosting inspiring and equipping Gatherings

⟶

Facilitating cohort-based Leadership Programs

⟶

Podcasts

Creating and curating culture-shaping Content

⟶
