Inter-mission: People are asking, so let’s talk about it!
More and more ministry leaders are talking about it —some are exploring the possibility, others are making plans, and many are asking: Could I take one too? At Ministry Forum, we’ve returned to this topic often—not just because it’s timely, but because we’re deeply passionate about it. We believe in ministry that is sustainable, grounded, and spiritually whole. And Inter-mission can be a powerful part of that journey.
3 Conversations About Rest & Renewal in Ministry
Over the past year we’ve hosted three episodes on the Ministry Forum Podcast highlighting a different facet of how ministry leaders are finding ways to sustain their calling. These episodes aren’t just interviews—they’re invitations - to rest, to renew your sense of purpose, and to learn from the hard-earned wisdom of others who’ve been in the trenches.
Understanding Inter-Mission in the PCC.
The Presbyterian Church in Canada (PCC) offers a unique opportunity for its ministers known as "Inter-Mission." Established in 1992 and updated in recent years, Inter-Mission is designed to support church leaders by providing them with a dedicated period for spiritual renewal and personal growth. This policy, while primarily aimed at ministers, extends its spirit to all church workers, encouraging a holistic approach to well-being and ministry effectiveness.
