Guests Kirk Cowman and Brian Westnedge join us on the pod this week to tackle these questions about the future of our church!

• What are you anticipating the church landscape will look like in Canada as we emerge from COVID?
• How did the transition team arrive at the proposed merger document?
• Is this a done deal?
• What happens to MJAC Vision and Values statements?
• What are Living Hope’s Vision and Core Behaviors?
• Where might a creative ‘out of the church box’ experimenter find a fit in the LH vision statement?
• What is LH’s practice with women in leadership?
• How will Sunday services be put together post-merger? (Who will preach?)
• Will LH staff oversee the MJ ministry areas such as worship ministry and children’s ministry?
• What happens to our current staff?
• What happens if we discern and vote NOT to merge? Is there a plan B?
