Join the Spiritual First Aid Summit - Thursday March 11.
Starting January 2021, Diaconal Ministries Canada began rolling out a new set of devotions called "Detours; Overcoming Spiritual Roadblocks in Ministry."
This series of 6 webinars explores ways churches can be better neighbors.
Hunting, fishing, gardening. Moving these activities from mere hobbies towards a model of stewardship, benevolence and justice.
A new set of devotions for deacons is coming in 2021—straight to your inbox!
The best ways for us and our churches to give at Christmas, or any time, is by discovering and building on the gifts and skills of people and communities.
Is it time to evaluate if the Christmas giving project you’ve ALWAYS done, is, well, just? Find a Q&A and 3 principles to help you create more just Christmas giving opportunities.
As our attention turns to World Hunger Sunday, we invite our U.S. churches to consider starting a Growing Project with Growing Hope Globally!
Many assume that supervising the minister is elders' work. Not so fast! What about the other people on the team—the deacons?
If our ministry plans and budgets tell a story, I wonder what story our community hears and sees through us. Watch a recap of the Webinar: Reimagining Church Budgets to Reflect Kingdom Values.
How has COVID-19 impacted the way we budget, serve, and give? As stewards, how do we generously use our gifts to impact God's world?
Whether meeting online or in-person, what are churches doing to spark that sense of worship in how they collect their offering?
As we wonder about schools and their reopening plans, are congregations involved in crafting creative community solutions and ideas to make education for all students a fair and equitable priority?
Stewardship is the faithful management of all that God has entrusted to us so that creation and all who live in it may flourish.
Let’s make it our goal to move beyond “thoughts and prayers” to holistic responses that respect the dignity of all people.
The church finds itself in the midst of transition. Instead of offering "charity" to our communities, what about "investment" with our communities.
Sitting back and waiting for people to come asking for help might just leave the church out of the loop right now.
We want to keep track of money allocated to those in need but feel it's not necessary to ask for extensive information from them. How does your church keep records?
Deacons who have a great idea for serving their local community right now, but lack the resources, can receive up to $5,000.
Is your church holding an offering this year? When you give to NewGround, you are impacting communities across Canada with the love of Christ.
Deacons exist to act as conduits through which God blesses others. In very practical terms, what does this mean as COVID-19 continues to spread?
Join representatives from World Renew, Volunteers in Action (Denver), and Lifeline Community Development Corporation (Merced, CA) as we discuss what we are learning and how we can support one another.
Do you have any suggestions for creative, effective, and appropriate ways to thank COVID-19 first responders?
What are you doing to check-in on your church and community members? Here are some resources, and we would love to hear your stories.
Diaconal Ministries Canada is working hard to put together resources to help deacons and churches during this difficult time.
