Catalytic Church Leadership

Are you a leader in our church or community?

Speakers: Matt and Sandra Duffy

Matt and Sandra have been pastoring in BC/Yukon District since January of 1981. CLA Langley, Haida Gwaii, Sicamous, Sooke, Castelgar, Evangel Kelowna, and transitioning for six churches. He was the campus Pastor for fifteen plus years at UBC Okanagan.

Matt's passion is to come alongside leadership in the Local Church. "How can I help?" By facilitating catalytic, open, honest, non-punitive discussions. Ones that explore the underlying assumptions that incline us to shape and facilitate what we call 'Church'. A better understanding of systemic issues is needed to reinvigorate God's people. We develop 'machinery'that reflects current culture and context. This is good 'missional' thinking, but culture is continually changing, calling us to coninually be adaptive. We need to understand the essence issues of 'being God's pople', not confusing them with the forms we've developed.

5 systemic areas

Truth: True freedom begins here. Courage is needed to 'step into these waters'.

Power: Holding what is God's. Ego and agenda. Bulding God's Kingdom.

Priesthood: Anointed few? All God's people? Limiting or Empowering?

Witness: Formulas or essence? Representation and presentation.

Leading and Following: Both are Biblical. What does that actually look like?
