Ministry Forum is Thankful for YOU!
Starting something new is always a bit of a leap. Will it matter? Will it reach the people it’s meant to reach? Will it make a difference?
Ministry Forum was born into this digital space in 2023 with the hope that it could be a place of encouragement, dialogue, and practical support for leaders across the Canadian church. We didn’t know how it would unfold, but we knew we wanted ministry leaders to feel connected, supported and that they were not alone in their calling.
Now, two years later, as we come out of Thanksgiving weekend, we’re full of gratitude—for you.
Every single podcast download (nearly 1,500 and counting!), every thoughtful reply to an email, every event registration, every resource shared with a colleague—it tells us this matters to you, and that fuels our commitment to keep showing up.
We’re especially grateful for:
Those who tune in weekly to the Ministry Forum Podcast, helping it grow steadily, episode by episode.
The 1,000+ monthly visitors who are finding Ministry Forum content online—proof that ministry questions are being asked and that faithful, thoughtful leaders are seeking answers.
Everyone who has attended a We Need to Listen session, a webinar, or the Preaching Collective Weekly gathering. Your presence matters.
The overwhelming response to our most recent Empowering Research event—with over 150 registrants and deeply engaged conversation.
All the lay leaders, pastors, and students who write to us with feedback, ideas, and encouragement that just makes our day!
You’ve reminded us that ministry is not a solo act. It’s a shared road. You’ve helped shape Ministry Forum into more than just a corner of the internet. Ministry Forum is a community of connection, curiosity, and courage.
We’ve heard from leaders feeling isolated who’ve found hope. From those reimagining worship or leadership. From pastors recovering from burnout who said, “just knowing you’re there is a support.” From ministers grateful for practical help and lay leaders energized to step into new roles. One person even called us “the Amazon of the continuing education world” (we’ll take that!).
Your kind words, your thoughtful engagement, your presence—it all tells us: keep going.
So this Thanksgiving, we just want to say thank you.
For being part of this.
For trusting us.
For doing the hard and holy work of leading Christ’s church across this land.
We’re honoured to walk alongside you.
With gratitude,
The Ministry Forum Team
