Bryan Roller followed with an opening prayer by Dr. Glenn Follis. Following the elders procession, District Secretary, Rev. Bob Tattrie, introduced assembly dignitaries General Superintendent, Dr. Gustavo Crocker, National Director of the Church of the Nazarene, Dr. Clair Macmillan, District Superintendent, Dr. Larry and Rev. Audrey Dahl and former District Superintendent, Dr. Daniel Gales. Dr. Crocker greeted the assembly on behalf of the Board of General Superintendents. He then officially called the assembly to order. A motion was carried to receive the Report of the Ministerial Credentials Board/ Board of Ministry recommendation re: Ordination candidates, retirement of elders and receiving of credentials. The ordination service continued with Dr. Crocker proclaiming the Statement of Purpose and offering the Invocation prayer. Dr. Crocker reminded us that we are all called to be ministers but also that the Lord appointed leaders to be responsible for the Church called elders and deacons. The ordination ritual is not an invention of the Church of the Nazarene or any other church. It is as ancient as the founding of the church itself. The location is not important but what is important is that ministers have been set apart to be leaders and shepherds of the church. He invited all those who are elders to remember their ordination. He invited everyone to be open to the call of Go and that this service is for the glory and honor of the Lord Who will build His Church and that we go and make disciples. Rev. Bob Tattrie presented these candidates for ordination to the assembly: Mitch Brower, Moses Chot Jock, Shelly Norris, Steven MacQuaig (recognition of credentials). Dr. Crocker received the candidates and led them through the responses to the examination regarding their call, their witness to being filled with the Holy Spirit and being entirely sanctified and evidence of gifts and graces for ministry. Dr. Clair Macmillan read II Timothy 4:1-8 followed by a time of congregational singing. Recognition of Retiring Elders was led by Dr. Larry Dahl. The assembly honored the following elders and their spouses for their years of service to Christ and His church: Dr. Riley and Karen Coulter, Rev. Timothy and Sharon Kirby, Rev. Gregg and Lynn Rustulka, Rev. Larry and Ethel Spinner, Rev. Bob and Lavon Tattrie, and Rev. Doug and Shelley Webb. Dr. Dahl presented these newly licensed ministers to the assembly: Mark Herbert, Ryan Herbert, Italo Losno and Laurel Pridgen followed by Dr. Daniel Gales reading paragraphs from the Manual of the Church of the Nazarene. The Elders choir then sang a new version of Holiness Unto the Lord. Dr. Crocker preached a message based on Judges 6, God s call to Gideon which he entitled Excuses are Like Bellybuttons Everybody Has One. He challenged us to accept God s call to reclaim Canada for Christ. Dr. Crocker gave an invitation to anyone who was willing to go back to their community and stand in the gap for their community and then led us in a prayer of commitment reminding us that God is with us and He is sending us. Dr. Crocker then led the ritual of ordination and Dr. Dahl presented ordination credentials to the new elders. Dr. Crocker gave the benediction, the congregation sang the Doxology and the assembly was adjourned until Saturday morning. 40

41 Saturday, June 10, 2017 Morning Session Rev. Bryan Roller and the worship team led the assembly in the singing of O Canada and Rev. Terry Fach, Ambrose representative brought greetings, highlighted the Flourishing Church Institute, presented a brief video about Ambrose. Dr. Dahl invited Dr. Clair MacMillan to open the assembly in pray. He then highlighted his 13 th report as the National Director of the Church of the Nazarene, Canada which is to be his final report as National Director. He announced Dr. Ian Fitzpatrick was appointed as the new National Director effective November 1, Dr. Dahl then took a moment to recognize Dr. MacMillan s years of service as a pastor, district superintendent and national director. Rev. Bryan Roller and team led the assembly in a time of worship. Dr. Crocker welcomed everyone to this session of the assembly. A motion was carried to organize the following aspects of the assembly: Assembly Personnel: Statistical Secretary Rose Graham Recording Secretary Deborah Tanasiecuk Pages Sharon Kirby, Peggy Skidmore Elections Secretary Rev.

Jen Blake Edmonton Southside Greetings will be sent to: Missionaries Dr. Anthony and Barbara Manswell, John and Laurie Watton Retired District Superintendents Dr. Daniel and Bonnie Gales, Dr. Glenn and Hertha Follis Ballots were collected and Dr. Crocker dismissed the tellers to their work. Dr. Crocker shared his relationship with Canada West District and how he met Dr. Dahl. He welcomed Dr. Dahl to give his 10 th District Superintendent s report. Dr. Dahl began by thanking the district staff and highlighted the labor of love in the church reports. He thanked clergy and lay persons in their local ministries. He invited us to continue to be people of hope and anticipate the future together with eagerness in terms of what God wants to do. He invited the pastors to share stories of obedience at their tables. He went on to talk about how we are resurrection people and that we share wherever we can. He reminded us of the extravagance of the sower in the parable of Jesus. He said the sower had confidence in the seed rather than confidence in the soil. He shared the four mindsets on religion in Canada: religiously committed (21%), non-believers (19%), privately faithful (30%) and spiritually uncertain (30%). The privately faithful believe in God and in heaven but they do it in their homes. The spiritually uncertain are not sure what they believe they have not given up yet (thorny soil). We have a challenge in the language that we use. He stressed that more than ever people are watching and listening more than they ever have before. He went on to say the Spirit of God is active in our churches. He invited Rev. Jason Sedore to share about his work with the Common Language Think Tank organized by the DAB to assist us to explore ways to find a common language to define and describe a compelling Biblical way to talk about the mission of the church in making Christlike disciples. After table conversation Dr. Dahl continued his report and said some are optimistic about the Church but they are anxious about where we are. He invited everyone to engage in God s Word and discover God s truth for our lives. Surely the seed of God in our lives will help us engage the world around us. He challenged us to be a demonstration of God s love to the world around us shared generously with everyone. A motion to receive the District Superintendent s Report was carried. He invited the assembly to stand to receive the report and then he invited Dr. Dahl and Audrey and the pastors to the front for prayer. He invited us all to work with Dr. Dahl, pray for him and talk to him not about him. Dr. Crocker then brought to the assembly Dr. Dahl for re-election as District Superintendent. Board of Tellers #2 distributed ballots for the re-election of the DS. There were insufficient ballots prepared so blank ballots were distributed. The Board of Tellers was instructed to count both the official and the blank 42

43 ballots distributed. The ballots were collected and the Board of Tellers was dismissed to their work. Dr. Crocker indicated he has read the Report of the Audit Committee and it indicates that all the finances are in order. Rose Graham then presented the District Treasurer s Report. A motion to receive the report was carried. Results of the Leadership Election Ballot of Board of Tellers #1: Total ballots cast District Advisory Board Clergy: vote for 1 for a three-year term Rev.

A motion to receive the camp report on p. 72 of the reports book. We then celebrated the Church triumphant in the Memoirs. Natalie MacDonald sang God Will Stand By You as we remembered those who are now in the presence of Jesus. Dr. Dahl led us in a prayer of thanksgiving for the lives of these faithful people. 43

44 A motion was carried to authorize the District Secretary to edit the district minutes and destroy the ballots. A motion was carried to adjourn the assembly following the stakeholders meeting. Dr. Dahl gave information about the stakeholders meeting, asked for a brief meeting of the DAB, and then invited RJ Graham to present Dr. Crocker with a gift from the district. The gift is a donation to Compassion Canada for 50 chickens to feed families in various world areas. Dr. Crocker preached a message from Ezekiel 37 inviting us to consider God s assignment to Ezekiel to prophecy over the bones and bring the Word, Jesus, to them. He reminded us that it is God s Spirit who brings the bones to life and that we are not to stop at noise, programs or strategies but to give God opportunity to bring life through His Holy Spirit. He prayed over the elders and the assembly for a fresh outpouring of God s Spirit, challenging all to accept God s assignment to Ezekiel to prophecy and to be enlivened by the Holy Spirit. Dr. Dahl thanked all that work behind the scenes to make the assembly and then dismissed the assembly. IV. Reports A. District Superintendent - Dr. Larry Dahl General Superintendent, Dr. Gustavo Crocker; National Director, Dr. Clair MacMillan; President of Ambrose University, Dr. Gordon Smith; guests, delegates and friends: I welcome you to the sixty-ninth District Assembly of the Canada West District Church of the Nazarene. This is my tenth report to you as the District Superintendent of Canada West District and my 40 th as a clergy person within the Church of the Nazarene. I count myself to be exceedingly privileged to have been given such a great opportunity to serve four churches and this great District over those years. Telus Communication has a motto that most of us here would be familiar with. It simply states: The Future is Friendly! They are attempting to frame our thinking with the message that in spite of the rapidly changing technological world around us, the future is not something for us to fear. I have to try to remember that when I get a new phone and can t quite figure out how to answer a call coming in! Our theme for this Assembly and the year before us may also come with different perspectives: Anticipating the Future Together. It begins with the word Anticipate - which means to give advance thought to foresee to visualize a future event.. There is something unknown about the days that we are in. The other primary word, however, is Together and whatever the future might hold, for good or ill, it is comforting to know that we will not be alone in whatever comes our way. A part of our Assembly exercise will provide an opportunity for those of you who are delegates to this event to help speak into helping us define something of that future. First, however, allow me to provide you with my Annual report summarizing the work that has been done on the District. 44

45 I. District Superintendent Assignment Report: District Superintendent Workload. This is, in part, to help you to better understand the work associated with the Superintendent role as outlined in Manual Par by means of an overview of my days at work on your behalf. Activity Days required 1 Pastoral Placement: average placements require a minimum of 6 visits. Exit Interview Preach as soon after the pastor s last Sunday as possible 3 Profile Session with board 6 Congregational profile session (Sunday morning) 7 Facilitate interview 6 Installation 4 This year we have completed the Pastoral placement for 5 churches. 5 In addition to the visits with the churches there is at least one full day of preparation in review of candidate prospects. 2 Assessment Center in January with 5 new clergy candidates 3 3 DAB on average once a month (preparation and meeting) 10 4 DAB Finance Committee on average one-half day monthly 5 5 Board of Ministry October (1 day) and March meetings (3 days) 2 days of 6 additional preparation. 6 Reviews I facilitate these on average there will be 6-8 per year 7 7 Alignment of Expectation 6 months into new assignment 6 8 Government work limited now that we no longer hold Chaplain contracts. 1 Primarily paperwork the office coordinates most of this 9 2 District Leadership Development 3 days ea + 2 days travel National Board: NB (1 day meeting, travel); Exec.

46 My Greatest supporter: The above schedule of work would not be possible without the willingness of Audrey to allow me to work at fulfilling the work associated with the Superintendency. One third of my time is spent on the road and away from home and her own full-time job as a Personal Caregiver, and part time ministry assignment (she is the Outreach Pastor for Garrison Green Chapel in Calgary) limit her ability to travel with me. However, she has officially retired from her paying job and so will be able to travel with me more frequently. She has a deep love and concern for the District churches and pastors and we are both looking forward to working together. The District Office: I really can t say enough about how dedicated and diligent our District Administrator, Rose Graham is. She doesn t just work at the assignment she lives and breathes the work associated with the many facets of the District operation. Her work and roles has grown exponentially over the years but she has not lost the ability to see the people behind all that needs to be done. She has built around her a team of people who help to make things run as smoothly as they do. Natalie MacDonald, Jena Beagle, Julia Gilligan and to keep the place young and energized, RJ Graham. District Officers: Rev. Bob Tattrie is retiring from his pastoral work this year but not the role of District Secretary his 14 years of experience in this serves us well. Mr. Eric Ewing serves as our District Treasurer, and I can t think of a better person to model integrity and prudence in all matters related to the financial work of Canada West. District Auxiliary Leaders: Jen Snow had to step down during this year as the SDMI director to help respond to family health issues but Leah Baker has stepped up and accepted the role of SDMI Director; Carolyn Herbert (NMI) and Ryan Wood (NYI) also serve in Auxiliary positions just sitting in on their regular meetings with their District leadership makes it clear that there is a lot of important planning and vision casting taking place. All of them have very full lives with work, family and their own local church but they graciously help guide our interest in this. District Advisory Board: This is a body of leaders you elect to serve and assist the District ministry operation and they are an exceptional group of Spirit filled leaders who come alongside to give wise counsel, advice, and support. The three lay representatives are: Keith Brower (Wainwright), Murray Herbert (Stettler) and John Ingalls (Hecla/Riverton). Our Clergy representatives are: Dale Hansen (Rocky Mountain House retired), Jeff Baker (Innisfail) and Rose Brower-Young (Calgary East). They are a blessing and great support. Board of Ministry: The work of this board is to carefully guide, support, and encourage, and hold accountable those individuals who have a sense of call to pastoral ministry in their life. The candidates for ordination this and every year are products of this board s diligence in interviewing, evaluating and helping them in their journey. There are thirteen dedicated clergy leaders on this board. Compassion Ministries: I find it easy to talk to people about the meaningful work being done by the seven Compassionate Ministries active on our District. They help us to model the grace and mercy of Christ in real, tangible ways. Circle of Friends: a ministry of worship for those with mental and physical challenges and their families. They meet weekly at Edmonton First Church and are led by Dr. David Nicholas. The ministry recently received a grant from Autism Speaks to help them grow the capacity of this heartwarming ministry. 46

47 Hope Street Church: A weekly Sunday afternoon meal and worship is the foundation for this ministry and expands into many other areas of relational help and healing. Rev. Murray Kumm serves as the Director. Fresh Start Ministries: Rev. Bernice McNair in Prince Albert works with people in the community in order to help provide them with the basics for life food, clothing and caring Christian advice. Siloam Mission: Our largest and truly inspiring place of ministry, serving meals, three times a day. They are also leading in the area of helping marginalized people transition into a more stable life. Rising Above: Rev. Mel Sigglekow: On May 28 th, Rev. Mel Sigglekow, the ED for Rising Above and his board celebrated the opening and dedication of a fully refurbished center to assist with their program of recovery. Den 205: Betty and Hank Brandt, are the Co-Directors and began this ministry several decades ago to provide Spiritual solutions to the complex issues of life. Building Hope: Edmonton they are in the process of selecting an ED but continue to provide basic services to the needy in the Abbotsfield area of Edmonton. They are the only Compassionate Care center in that part of the city. This is an important part of who we are. Camp Ministries: We are privileged to have two established camps on our District. Camp Harmattan just north of Calgary and Lakeshore Bible Camp, south of Winnipeg. The wonderful thing is that both camps do a remarkable ministry to children, youth and adults. Great, good and Godly ministry flows out of these intensive places of concentrated ministry. Ambrose University College: We are pleased to have the chance to use this facility for our Assembly and give you a chance to experience just a bit of what our University is like. Perhaps even more meaningful is that all three ordination candidates have been educationally grounded here at Ambrose. You support Ambrose through the Giving to Others contribution to the District. Let me expand a bit on some particular areas of work this past year: Pastoral Placement: Surely one of the most challenging times for churches are those times between pastors. We are fortunate to have had strong and excellent support from a number of clergy who are trained and qualified to provide Transitional and/or Supply ministry. It s always an exciting time to come to the place where a new Pastoral leader is coming into place. This year I have had the privilege of working with local church boards for four new Pastoral Placements: Wapella: Rev. Derek Berry, his wife Tammy and their two children, Kellie and Braden, started on an adventure in accepting an appointment to come as the pastor for this small but vibrant church. Derek is bi-vocational and Tammy now works part time for the town. Wapella is our focused project for the District Work and Witness project this summer. Drumheller: Rev. Carlos Calderon was elected by the congregation of the Drumheller church to step into the Senior Pastor role. Carlos, his wife Tammy and their three children have been a part of the Drumheller church from the beginning of their journey in faith so they have a very close attachment to the community and the congregation. Lacombe Woodland Ave.: Dr. Doug Herbert has just been appointed to serve the Lacombe congregation. Doug and Judy served in a Supply pastor role at the church and quickly established themselves into the heart and life of the people there. The Herbert s are in the process of purchasing a home and moving to Lacombe Doug will begin his ministry near the end of June. 47

48 Medicine Hat Glenveiw: Rev. Steve MacCuaig and his wife Darlene have accepted the call to come and serve the Glenview congregation as their new lead pastor. The MacCuaig s have been in a unique ministry called The Table while he was working for the Alberta Treasury Branch in Canmore. They will be moving to Medicine Hat and begin their ministry there in July. There are still two churches in transition: Caroline (Matt Wilks, Interim Supply); and North Country Community in Grande Prairie. I have met recently with both boards to review, discuss, and dream a bit about new Pastoral leadership and I hope to soon be able to announce new senior pastoral leaders for these vital churches. DAB Strategic Planning: Each year, for the past three years, I and the District Advisory Board and the District Administrator take a few days in November to engage in an exercise in planning and analysis. We also invited two former DAB members, John Watton and Jason Sedore to join us for this meeting. Several initiatives have flowed out of this meeting: Church and Clergy Connections: This was a prime concern for the team. It was acknowledged that the challenge of our expansive geography keeps us from having consistent contact with clergy leaders however, recent technology allows us to have more interaction. With that in mind, it was agreed that we would utilize the Go-to-Meeting program to connect with small groups of pastors on a more consistent basis. The primary question to ask: How is it with you? Action: I have developed 7 groups of pastors in what we are referring to as Affinity Cohort Groups. These pastors were not aligned on the basis of geography, but on the basis of similarities with their local church settings and personal circumstances. For example, one group consists of pastor s who are in churches that are large enough to have staff. Another group is made up of bi-vocational pastors who are in small churches with limited resources. Another is for those pastors who work during the day and could only connect in the evening. Each group met on 6 separate occasions, about every two weeks, for one hour at a time. Church Facility and Property Challenges: We have a number of churches with property needs. A starting point for addressing those needs is to have an unbiased professional assessment and a follow up plan of action for helping to care for deficiencies before they become critical. Action: We developed and re-engaged a District Property Assessment Team consisting of: Jonathan Low (Engineer/construction); Blake Pridgen (Pipefitter);; Arliss Fallon (interior/exterior design); and Peter Laxton (Real Estate). Brock Priebe (Architectural) provided consultation. On a cold weekend in January they made a trip to visit with three churches who specifically requested some assistance in assessing their building needs (Westlock, Olds and Sundre). The team produced some very helpful information and recommendations for each of the churches. The District has, since, partnered with two of these churches on helping to care for some of the more critical needs. We anticipate doing this again in the coming year. Personal health and wellness for Pastors: There is a growing recognition that physical and emotional wellbeing is critical for helping clergy leaders manage the growing pressures associated with ministry today. There are a number of initiatives already in place to provide some support (Sabbaticals; Soul Care Retreat; Prayer Retreats; Pastoral Clergy Days) but there is yet more to be done. Action: The District Advisory Board has approved the development of a wellness initiative which will assist pastors in accessing supports for physical (i.e. gym membership); emotional (i.e. coach or mentor); and spiritual (i.e. spiritual director) caretaking of clergy persons. Common Language Task Group: Our common goal in the Church of the Nazarene is to Make Christlike disciples in the Nations. The method, the means and the desired outcomes are quite 48

49 varied. Since identity comes from the language we use and the meanings associated with those, it was deemed important for us to bring together a team of gifted and passionate church leaders to help us find the practices that are best suited for our congregations in their objective to make Christlike Disciples. Rev. Jason Sedore is heading up this group consisting of: John Watton, Terry Fach, Eric Berg, Jessica Fox and Rose Brower-Young with additional consultation from myself and Matt Wilks. This team will be leading us in a table discussion during my Assembly report. District Support and Engagement: The distance between churches on Canada West District makes it more difficult for the District Office to provide support and assistance to local churches. It is felt that more engagement on the local level will be beneficial. Action: We have put into place two important resource assets to be available without cost to our local Church pastors and leaders: Administration/Finance Guidance: Rose Graham will be available to come to local churches, to provide support and help in reviewing a wide variety of matters related to church operations. She comes with over 25 years of experience working with the District and local church and has a wide variety of skills to assist local Administrators, board secretaries, treasurers and financial managers. Rose knows and she is just a phone call away. District Children s Coordinator: We have just set up a contract with Sherri-Lynn Martin to assist local churches with ideas, thoughts and plans for establishing or setting up effective ministries for children and their families. She is also able to help work with local churches in setting up or re-doing their Child Safe policies and practices. Her time is limited but please consider ways that she can come to help out. The following is a comparative graph of my visitation over the years of my tenure: TOTAL VISITS to churches to CMC to Zones Committees Meeting Others Staff Meetings Leaders/MAF Camps Total II. Evaluating Ministry Effectiveness Your Assembly report booklet carries in it more than just statistics, it also includes the individual reports from all of our Pastors and a summary for each of our local churches. Hidden within the numbers, I can assure you, are some particularly meaningful stories of God s engagement with his people. Please take the time to review all of these reports return to them from time to time over the next year and keep them in prayer. a) Financial Narrative: I have accused our District Administrator Rose Graham of taking the financial records and budget to bed 49

50 with her. It is certainly true that she is committed to providing the very best level of oversight and management of our finances. A meeting to review our finances never concludes without evident praise for the work she does. She works closely with the District Advisory Board Finance Committee, Eric Ewing, our District Treasurer, and with our broker, Marta Stevenson. A full report is included in the Assembly booklet. We will again finish in the black thanks to the prudent and careful work of our District Finance Team. Some essential notes and narrative about some of these important funds: World Evangelism Fund: A heart-felt Thank You to all Churches for your support of this life line for the Global Ministry of the Church of the Nazarene. The total raised this year for WEF is: $341,229 - our objective was $307,997. You continue as well to be generous in your support of other Mission Special giving raising $126,870 for things like the Alabaster offering, Mission deputations, Compassion Ministries. Additionally, you contributed 115,249 to local Compassionate Ministries. Several Churches have given above and beyond their allocation others have struggled in this past year s economy. Our overall WEF giving is: 111% of the target! The following churches have been faithful in meeting their local goal and objective for the support of the World Evangelism Fund. This is an essential part of the Global operation of the Church of the Nazarene. Many of those on this list have overpaid their allocation. Thank you to these strongly mission minded congregations: Rocky Mountain House 30.18% Winnipeg New Hope 7.41% Fort Saskatchewan 6.93% Sylvan Lake 6.54% Medicine Hat Glenview 6.41% Drumheller 6.28% Calgary East 6.14% Edmonton Southside 5.89% High Prairie 5.71% Wainwright 5.68% Stettler 5.68% Lethbridge 5.58% Claresholm 5.52% Wapella 5.54% Saskatoon Louise Street 5.50% Giving to Others these are the funds sent to the District office in support of Ambrose, our District Auxiliaries and the work of the District office. This has been a difficult year for many of our churches but I want to thank all those churches who have given so faithfully to this as we could not do the work that we do without this support. This year s total is $378, Thank you for your faithfulness. b) The Statistical Record Listed below is the progress chart for the District that covers the entire period of my term as your District leader and an overview of how we are doing compared to the past. 50

You will find individual Church data in the Assembly booklet. The graph above is the cumulative report. I am by nature an optimist. Over the past year or two I have been engaged with our pastoral leaders on a discussion about metrics that is, the things we measure and what that tells us. There is good reason for considering other things that are worthy of evaluating. Surely it means something when a church is able to identify a number of people who are growing in their faith, reading the Bible on a more consistent basis, praying about something more than their own need, sharing their hope with others. Can we measure the Spiritual heart of a person? There may certainly be ways to evaluate that and our conversations are drawing us ever closer to finding ways to test the temperature of Spiritual life and help stimulate this element of Christian community. I am encouraged by the nature of the conversation and the strong conviction on the part of all those involved that we can trust that God cares about our hopes and aspirations for people maturing in faith and loving their neighbors in the name of Jesus. There is also a recognition among most in this conversation that we cannot and should not ignore the more traditional measurements. How many people do we have coming together in collective fellowship; how many are we seeing come to belief in Christ; how many are involved in intentional discipleship study. The figures you see in the graph above tell that story. I have spent time working over the data. You have to be impressed that our smallest church Wapella saw an almost 30% increase. Certainly, bringing in a pastoral family of 4 helped but 5 more people in addition to the pastoral family are coming to the church. Sherwood Park has grown by 12% in attendance this year and 10% for River of Life. There are, in all, 10 churches who have shown at least some measure of growth in AM attendance. The other side of the story, however, is that fully two-thirds of our churches (22) have shown a decline over the past year and three others have remained the same. For some the loss is by 1 or 2 percent a few as high as 15% loss and one by almost 30%. Overall, we have decline of 3.5% - or more significantly 50

52 88 fewer people attending our churches than one year ago. We have shown a decline in virtually every area related to the measurements of what we are doing except financially. III. Hopes and Dreams: Five years ago, I laid out a hoped for pattern for reversing the trend that we were on at the time. I had aspirations for positive change and believed that if we worked hard and applied ourselves diligently, we could manage to bring ourselves back to where we were 10 years ago. You might recall the goals: Goal #1: To add 12 new church ministries to bring us to 45 churches, essentially where we were in How are we doing? No new churches have been organized over the past 5 years. We do, however, have the ground work and potential for formally organizing two or three churches in the next year or two. Airdrie Organic Church Ministry: Dr. David Skidmore continues to guide a group of quality leaders they have moved into a larger meeting area and Dave has a conceptual plan in place for launching new ministries. Calgary Sudanese: under the mentorship of Rev. Bryan Roller the Sudanese Pastor, Moses Chot Jock and his faithful Associate Boor Doyak, has created a dynamic and strong church that meets every Sunday afternoon. Riverton: Rev. Menno Friesen continues to give great leadership to a growing core of people in this small town north of Winnipeg. They own their own building and have a regular weekly service. There are six other church ministries that are in place and meeting regularly. Strategy: Dr. David Skidmore will be presenting a Dynamic Church Planting International training event on the weekend of September 29 October 1. The last training event we had resulted in at least two new ministry ventures. Information will be coming out just contact the District office to get on the mailing list. Goal #2: To aim to grow our churches by 1,000 people and reverse the negative trend of losses that we have experienced for most of the past 17 years. How are we doing? The statement above is clear we have not grown, but even declined over these five years. This is not to say that nothing has been done. I know that a great deal of effort has gone in to trying to stop the bleeding no one rejoices in this loss. Goal #3: To develop healthy congregations through an atmosphere of encouragement and hope so that we will see a pattern which will help churches to reproduce and multiply. How are we doing? I believe that there is at least some movement in this. The strategies outlined earlier in my report grew out of a sense of the importance of building health from within the church. We have continued to sponsor individuals to attend the Church Renewal Conference in Steinbach and, to date, over 35 people pastors and lay leaders have attended this event. Without fail the reports have been enthusiastically supportive and celebrate change and growth for all attendees. 51

53 The program includes the offer of additional on-line coaching for pastors and a number of Canada West Pastors are taking advantage of this. Several of them are implementing teaching in their own congregations on listening to God. This can only help build up and strengthen the church body. Goal #4 A belief that it can be done: How are we doing? The five years are up and based on the measurable markers that were a part of these big audacious goals it hasn t happened. The best I can report is a sense of positive movement, but on the tangible numbers we have failed. I don t like to write that, any more than you like to read it. But the reality is that we have failed to even move the needle on some of these goals and objectives. Personal Note: This marks my 40 th report to an Assembly. This District has been my home for 37 of those years. 10 as your District Superintendent; 6 as Missional Coach; 21 as a pastor to three congregations. I know how you care. And reading me write about our failure will make some of you want to come to my defense: This isn t your fault church is different than it once was fewer people go to church anymore in general there are other things that are more meaningful to count. And I love you for that, but let me also be transparent in turn. First, I would be of little value to you and the work of our church if I ignored or avoided the reality that there are 1,400 fewer people coming together for worship in our churches than when I first accepted this assignment. I love the church, her people, and this commission that we have been given too much not to be broken hearted over these losses. Second, this technically marks the final report to the District Assembly in my third term of office. One of the rationale on my list for considering making this the final part of my journey in this role and moving into retirement has been the thought that perhaps it is time to step aside and allow someone else to assume this role who may be able to succeed where I have failed. Understand it is not giving up, but giving over. I confess that I like the idea of retirement. I have given notice, however, that I will seek the Assembly s will on this through a vote for another term. This isn t because I don t believe there is someone who can do this better, but I have just a few more projects in process that I would like to see come to completion. Third, I know that the feeling and emotions attached to the reality of loss and failure has a parallel in ministry. More than once I have sat across from gifted, passionate, godly church leaders (lay and clergy alike) who have questioned their effectiveness in ministry. Like me they look at the measurements of success and lament their seeming inability to see the church grow or, in some instances, even to sustain itself. The words they use in those moments are powerful, potent and deeply personal. They feel like failures. They feel ashamed that for all the hopes and desires they had, things are no better than when they started. I, like you would, reason and rationalize. I talk about the growing resistance factor in society today to religious values. Time pressures, a wide array of activities available for people, work schedules and a host of demands mean that fewer people are taking the time to go to Church, or make it a part of their regular 52

54 life. But that all makes little impact when Sunday after Sunday there are visual reminders that people are gone and the work is increasingly hard. I want to change the dialogue. I want us to move away from the language of success and failure ; from shame and guilt and on to hope and dreams. I am now asking pastors and lay leaders who fear the future because of present limitations and past losses, a different question. Now I simply ask them: Have you been obedient? Have you been faithful to your work and to what God called you to do? And to that question I universally have received a resounding Yes, of course. I am going to suggest that we build on that. After all, this is God s church and we are his people. If we are going to be actively involved in the kingdom work of changing destinies than we will need to do this Together. God you and me. This is the way that it has always been. I am a blessed and fortunate person to be given the opportunity to serve all of you and I look forward to Anticipating the Future Together. Respectfully submitted, Larry R. Dahl, District Superintendent National Director The Church of the Nazarene has been in continuous operation in Canada since Shortly after World War II, the Government of Canada enacted legislation requiring every charitable receipt-granting organization to be supervised by a nationally incorporated board of directors, resident within the Canada. The Executive Board of the Church of the Nazarene in Canada was incorporated in 1946 by an act of Parliament. It was empowered by the General Board of the Church of the Nazarene to be the lawful authority of the Church of the Nazarene in Canada in all matters relative to the acquiring, holding, selling and conveying of property within the Dominion, as outlined in the Articles of Incorporation. This responsibility continues to be the core of our responsibility. Over the past 50 years and particularly in the past decade the responsibility of the National Church Corporation has continued to evolve. Two factors have influenced that development. First, changes in governmental regulations that affect us; and second, the unique opportunities that come our way to act on behalf of the Church of the Nazarene International in responding to needs in various parts of the world. The Church of the Nazarene International pays us to manage its interests in Canada. National Director s Responsibilities National Office In recent years, the Church of the Nazarene International has increasingly called upon us to manage its interests within Canada and through Canada, in many areas around the world. Through the National Office we handle payroll and retirement services for our Canadian missionaries. We manage the compliance issues that arise with the government regarding taxation and other employment matters for our and other church employees. We manage the retirement accounts for Canadian Nazarene pastors 53

55 and oversee the group insurance plan that covers our pastors and their families. We also manage the Joint Ministry Agreement with the Church of the Nazarene International. This agreement has been necessitated by ongoing changes in government regulations concerning money given for charitable purposes. By law, Canadian churches are forbidden to transfer such funds outside of Canada unless they have a written agreement in place to track and verify the use of those funds. This agreement is the product of ongoing complex negotiations between our tax lawyer, Mr. Robert Hayhoe of Miller- Thompson LLP, and the General Church s legal counsel. In order to be compliant with the above mentioned agreement, the Church of the Nazarene International maintains a holding account to receive all World Evangelism Funds, mission specials, and other income from our Canadian churches. That account can only be accessed by the General Treasurer and General Secretary of the Church of the Nazarene International; virtually all Church of the Nazarene funds moving into and out of Canada flow through this account. We continue to adapt to these changing requirements to assure that our districts and local churches remain in compliance with all current law. The Church of the Nazarene International pays us to manage its interests within Canada. Through the National Office we operate the Church Loan Fund Canada, arranging financing to local churches for acquiring or developing properties. Currently we have about $1.7 million on loan to local churches, with several applications pending. This fund is made available particularly to churches that would have difficulty qualifying for financing in the commercial loan market. The National Office maintains a website; we publish a weekly newsletter, edited by Diane McCrae. It is distributed by to hundreds of individuals and all of our local churches. Dr. William Stewart publishes a quarterly newsletter we call ACORN (Association of Canadian Retired Nazarenes); it is distributed to retired Nazarene pastors and laypeople across Canada and around the world. About 6 years ago, Nazarene Compassionate Ministries Canada (NCMC) began producing and distributing a gift catalogue designed to make gift-giving to international ministries an option for our people. Every year, particularly at Christmastime, many people make use of this resource to combine compassionate outreach with their desire to give something to friends and family members. NCMC will include a statistical report on the gift catalog ministry this afternoon. The National Office, in cooperation with NCMC, coordinates the Canadian participation in the Child Sponsorship program of the General Church. You will find the NCMC reports in your meeting booklet; we will hear a summary report of some of NCMC s activities later today. These are exceedingly complex activities. Throughout 2015 the National Office staff was made up of executive assistant, Eric White, bookkeeper Aml Nasr and office assistant, Diane McCrae, all half-time employees. Eric manages the office and brings skilled leadership to our work. Eric works with Aml and the finance committee to prepare for the annual audit. I welcome Eric to the meeting today and thank him for his careful work in guiding the finance committee through the review of our financial accounts and records yesterday. We are pleased to welcome our auditor, Mr. Mike Arndt (BBA, CPA, CA) of Graham Matthew of Professional Corporation to our meeting today. When I accepted this position, the National Board asked me to give attention to four priorities in addition 54

56 to being the executive officer of the corporation. District Coordination First, the Board asked me to help to develop and optimize resources for the districts and the district superintendents. Financial Resources Prior to 1997 each of the districts applied for and received financial assistance for home mission work from the International Department of Home Missions. Since 1997, the USA/CANADA Regional Office has provided an annual grant to the National Office to assist us in funding the mission of the Church of the Nazarene in Canada. We have an ongoing commitment to assure that those funds are used where they will do the most good always in missional activity and never for administrative overhead. We thank our regional director, Dr. Robert Broadbooks and the USA/CANADA regional office this ongoing support. We do not solicit funds from local churches to operate the National Office or any of the initiatives the districts ask us to undertake on their behalf. We do have a small amount of income that comes to us from the annual proceeds of investments that have been committed to us over the years. We are seeking ways to expand that resource, in order to make more funds available to advance the work of the districts. In response to the initiatives from our District Superintendents I asked you to make $75,000 available to the districts from our capital reserves to assist in response to the Syrian refugee crisis that has come to our attention this last fall. Thank you for approving the request that we make $15,000 available to each district to work as they see fit in responding to this need. Other Resources While the word resources immediately draws our minds to fiscal matters, it is not restricted to that. We continue to provide the SourceBook for Clergy Development Canada to people who have sensed God s call to prepare for ordained ministry. We offer this at no cost on our National website and on the International Church website. This important resource continues to influence the preparation of ministers for the church. We are beginning reap the benefits of this tool that has been part of our process of clergy preparation for the past 20 years. With the recent changes in the USA/CANADA Regional structure we are reviewing the role that this SourceBook should play in the development of our future ministers, recognizing that this tool has been approved by the Canadian districts, the International Board of Education and General Board. I am pleased that Dr. Larry Dahl and Rev. Doug Herbert now represent Canada on the Regional Course of Study Advisory Committee. We thank Dr. Dan Copp of Clergy Services and Dr. Dean Blevins for their work in the ongoing refinement of ministerial preparation in Canada and the United States. I continue to conduct the annual Ministry Assessment program initiated by my predecessor 20 years ago. In March 2016 we conducted the Assessment Center in Canada Central District with 8 participants. All candidates were commended to the Canada Central District Board of Ministry for further development. I thank Ian and Pat Fitzpatrick for coordinating and facilitating the event. In January 2016 I conducted the Canada West District Ministry Assessment Center in Calgary. We had a total of 13 participants, 8 of whom were candidates; all were referred to the Canada West Board of 55

57 Ministry for continued involvement in the process of ministerial development. In April 2016 we had 7 couples attend our Canada Atlantic District Ministry Assessment center. Each couple successfully completed the process and was referred to the District Board of Ministry for further development of their gifts and graces. During 2015 we began to work with Dr. Dean Blevins, the Regional Education Coordinator for the USA/Canada Region. We are currently engaged in the preliminary steps of having the graduate program at Ambrose validated by the International Course of Study Advisory Committee. I thank Dean for his assistance to Ambrose School of Ministry in overseeing this complex process. Helen Thiessen continues to serve Canada as our national Nazarene Youth International President. In that capacity she also represents Canada in the International NYI Council. The primary responsibility in this position is to facilitate the relationships of our 5 district Nazarene Youth International district presidents. In addition Helen has helped us expand and develop our strategy to enlist and engage our NYI personnel in our 5 districts as they pursue the mission of the Church of the Nazarene Canada. I thank Helen for coordinating our district participation in the Nazarene Youth Congress in Louisville Kentucky last July. I thank Richard Bahan for serving as our Canadian Representative on the Global Missions Council. Richard is working with our 5 Canadian NMI Presidents to visit our district NMI conventions in June. Richard brings energy and insight to the coordination of our five NMI councils and their work in their respective districts. We appreciate Richard s preparation and distribution of prayers request under the name Missional Heart. Each of our superintendents, and several other people, submit prayer requests to Richard for communicating across the country. Dr. Riley Coulter will be concluding his 25 years of service to Ambrose University and its founding schools. We will be providing an opportunity at each of our district assemblies this year to acknowledge and thank Riley for his years of dedicated leadership. Riley will be reporting to us today on his work representing us as Director of Stewardship Services for Canada. Peer Accountability for District Superintendents Second, the Board asked that I develop a system of peer accountability for the Canadian district superintendents. To that end, we have made a commitment to meet regularly to pray with and for one another, and to maintain the highest degree of spiritual transparency as we work to advance the Gospel in our respective fields of responsibility. I believe that God is honoring this initiative. We work together in two ways: first, as the Executive Committee of the National Board; and second, as the Administrator s Fellowship. When we meet as Administrator s Fellowship we occasionally include our wives and share a time of relaxed conversation and enjoyable activity. We intentionally avoid talking shop during these times and focus on keeping the joy of holiness alive in us. Without exception we have come to anticipate and relish these times of renewal. Our discussions in this capacity are off the record, freeing us to dream dreams and see visions about where God is directing the Church of the Nazarene. As the Executive committee we give prayerful consideration to the concerns and ministry opportunities that arise between the meetings of the Board. We work together to assure that as a denomination in 56

58 Canada we keep faith with the mission that God has given to the Church of the Nazarene. Mission and Vision Third, the Board asked me to help keep us focused on the mission of the Church of the Nazarene. This year the executive committee has specifically asked me to help us focus on the global mission statement of the Church of the Nazarene: Our purpose is to make Christ-like disciples in the nations. We continue to do so by engaging in effective evangelism, by experiencing and promoting the holy life, and by raising another generation of competent and Spirit filled leaders. Representing the Church of the Nazarene Canada Fourth, the Board asked me to be the spokesman for the Church of the Nazarene and its representative in the larger church community and the wider society. In this capacity I have had ongoing contact with a number of organizations including ALPHA Canada, Arrow Leadership Development, Church Planting Canada, The Micah Challenge, Church Growth Canada, The Christian and Missionary Alliance in Canada, the Wesleyan Church, the Evangelical Fellowship of Canada and the leaders of 21 denominations affiliated with it; the Interfaith Chaplaincy Committee and Bridges of Love Urban Ministry, Scripture Union Canada. New opportunities are arising constantly for us to take our place among other organizations that are seeking to make the Gospel of Jesus Christ known in our world. Each year there are numerous events scheduled to which I am invited as the leader of the Church of the Nazarene Canada. Whenever possible I plan to attend or ask someone to go in my place. In addition, I am occasionally contacted by the media to comment on a variety of social and moral issues that impact the life of Canadians and the church. I have asked Rev Steve Ottley, Assistant District Superintendent in Canada Central, to coordinate our assistance to the districts in our denominational emphasis on church planting. In November he began to make plans for a Dynamic Church Planting Initiative to be held in Canada Atlantic District. This multidenominational event will be funded by the participating local churches/pastors, in cooperation with the district. Steve was able to get a $2300 donation from a sister denomination to help with the start-up costs. Nazarene Compassionate Ministries Canada When I began serving as National Director, it became part of my responsibility to give executive direction to Nazarene Compassionate Ministries Canada. Over the course of these 11 years the work of NCMC has continued to expand, largely through the tireless activity and vision of Rev. Elaine Bumstead. Elaine and her team have served us and the International Church in coordinating our NCMC work, particularly in South Asia and in Central Africa. Two years ago I drew your attention to the fact that NCMC had developed to the point that it needed someone to serve as executive director; I requested your consent in designating someone to serve in this crucial role. I have followed through on that, and after consultation with the executive committee I am pleased to continue my appointment of Rev. Elaine Bumstead as executive director of Nazarene Compassionate Ministries Canada. In many respects Elaine has functioned in this capacity for several years as our director of international programs and our executive representative on the Canadian Food Grains Bank. Elaine chairs the NCMC Committee and gives direction to all NCMC personnel and activities. She will report to us this afternoon and present the NCMC plans and 57

59 operating budget for the 2016 fiscal year. Conclusion I continue to see it as good stewardship of our national and district resources for me to function in this dual capacity as National Director and as Superintendent of Canada Atlantic District. The staff we have in place in each office makes it possible for me to invest my time focusing on the large issues, leaving the critically important detail work to others who are skilled and fulfilled in those matters. I solicit your prayers as we move forward in proclaiming Christian Holiness to our generation. I thank each of you for your participation continued support and encouragement as members of the National Board and The Church of the Nazarene Canada Inc. And finally, I thank my wife Donna for her unfailing support and encouragement in these days. Respectfully submitted, Clair MacMillan B. District Boards & Standing Committees District Advisory Board May 1, 2017 In harmony with the responsibilities and duties outlined in the Manual of the Church of the Nazarene, the District Advisory Board met one time for organizational purposes, once in a retreat setting for strategy planning and six times to conduct the business of the Canada West District for the fiscal year.

66 SPC (RA) - White, Gary - Padre, St. Albert Commissionaires SPC - Yoo, Hank - Teacher, Regina Christian School Respectfully submitted: Dr. Larry Dahl District Superintendent Rev. Jeff Baker Secretary Welcome to the 69 th District NMI Convention a celebration of stories from our local churches across the Canada West District and around the world! Because You took up the challenge presented last year to encourage our people to live out God's call to compassion, to be intentionally present to serve and meet needs both locally and across the globe we can proclaim our story. Jesus had a different story than what the rulers of the time were telling (Luke 24:13ff). We have a different narrative from the world, and our story matters; it tells of how God is moving in our lives. Today we will hear some stories from the Whatever attitudes that you intentionally pursued this past year (Philippians 4:8). Because You saw the needs in your communities many of you participated in food banks, whether partnering with others or providing it on your own. Some church families provided meals or hampers to those who were facing challenging situations medically, financially, emotionally or relationally. You knit and crocheted items for the Victoria Warehouse, and passionately found ways to raise funds to sponsor a Syrian refugee family. Because You supported our children at Harmattan Family Camp and during local VBS s and Sunday School our children were able to surpass the goal, and raised $5361 which was to go to Syrian refugees for tents. Unfortunately, actually getting the tents proved to be too difficult. In the end, the funds were used to help refugees live through the harsh winter in Belgrade, Serbia providing basic necessities like food, clothing, housing and education. 65

67 Our Adult project may have seemed uninspiring perhaps raising funds towards the shipping of a container to a Creative Access country. The church in that country aims to use the things sent in the container to resource various outreaches: a psychiatric clinic for women, orphanages, retirement homes, people with disabilities and poor families. Thank you to each church that did partner with us and caught a bit of the vision of serving with our church in a challenging situation. We were able to raise about 80% of our $10,000 goal. Sometimes we get caught up in the intensity of our local ministry but Because You pray and give the Global Church is continuing to grow and now is involved in ministry to 162 different countries of the world. We have also partnered with Jesus Film Harvest Partners to share the Good News. Through Nazarene Compassionate Ministries Canada we are able to respond quickly and efficiently when crisis comes to a particular part of the world. Because You as a church body have experienced life in a richly blessed country you have practiced generosity as a character trait. As Dr. Riley Coulter shared at a financial workshop in my own local church, God s work in us is to bring reconciliation. As we practice His ways, including generosity, we learn to excel and become more like Him. You have given generously both to the World Evangelism Fund and to many Special Projects. Because You know it is through stories that our children, teens and adults become personally involved and passionate about justice issues, learning to pray and care for our missionaries you have been faithful in providing educational moments. You shared through Missions Moments on Sunday mornings, used the missions educational materials over shared lunches or home gatherings; and many people heard about God s moving, both locally and internationally. You have been creative and intentional. This spring, the Medicine Hat church was able to go and serve alongside Darin & Tonya Kucey on a Work and Witness trip in Haiti. They cleaned, painted and worked on the dormitory; while also building relationships, participating in worship and playing with kids and former street boys. This fall, Calgary First Church is planning to send a team to Haiti; and Rocky Mountain House has unconfirmed plans for a trip in the winter months. Such a practical way to encourage fellow believers and have our hearts softened to His church globally. Because You cared almost all of the churches on our district hosted a missionary in this past year, and many of them more than one. We heard testimony of those seeking the outcast and marginalized, and of God s faithful leading and protection as they served. We were led in worship through music as well as the challenge of the Word. Thank you to each one who opened your heart to nurturing a relationship and encouraging our missionaries. These intentional times are rich for both our missionaries and our church people. I feel richly blessed to work with a great team on the District NMI Council. They each have a deep passion for missions and desire to encourage each of our pastors, local NMI presidents and lay people. I m thankful for the wisdom they bring and the willingness to wrestle with how best to resource and come alongside our local church leaders. We are still learning to communicate information and resources in the most efficient way across our vast district, to each of our local churches. We are hoping that your Zone Reps will become familiar faces and resource people for each of our churches. It has been a joy to partner with the SDMI District Council as 66

68 we work together to think about the best ways to address current contexts and needs of local and international ministry. Discipleship is core to our calling and it is a blessing to work together. As Paul wrote to the church in Corinth (II Co 7:13): On account of this, we are encouraged. In addition to our own encouragement, we were even more delighted by the joy of Titus. For his spirit has been refreshed by all of you. Each of our churches has been faithful to God s call, and have encouraged the Titus s who have been kindly received and hospitably entertained. Let s continue to live out God's call to compassion, to be intentionally present to serve and meet needs both locally and across the globe. We can claim our confidence and strength in Christ. Let s serve with abandon this next year, with nothing to prove, nothing to lose and nothing to hide. We are accepted in Christ, can surrender to His direction and walk in integrity. Respectfully Submitted, Carolyn Herbert - Canada West District NMI President Nazarene Youth International Dr. Crocker, Dr. Dahl, Dr. MacMillan, It is an honor to present this report on behalf of our District NYI leadership and teens. I would like to utilize the suggestion from Dr. Dahl to report on events from the year that have lead to an anticipation of the future. Obviously, the excitement in our NYI ministry originates from our young people who are full of energy, fun and passion for Jesus. This year whenever we gathered together there was reason for excitement. Not just because of the fun nature of the events or the good attendance but the meaningful times that we shared with each other through worship and fellowship. The presence of the Holy Spirit is always special when we gather as a district family. This year we met at Family Camp, SNAZ party, and Spring Retreat at Harmattan (Let me thank: Matt Wood our Family Camp youth speaker, Johnny Blake our SNAZ 2016 speaker, Trent McDowell and the Harmattan team the spring retreat facilitators for the wonderful way they ministered to our students in our gatherings this year.) Our purpose in hosting and supporting events like these is to facilitate opportunities for our district youth to gather together and build relationships with peers from around the district knowing that these relational bonds, begun at District events, can last a lifetime. We believe our events are avenues for local youth groups (from large and small churches) to be encouraged and invigorated as leaders and teens connect to the larger church family that they belong to in the Church of the Nazarene. All of these purposes are of course secondary to our main purpose, to offer our students and leaders opportunities to be ministered to by the Holy Spirit as we worship, fellowship, serve and have fun together. We know that the Spirit moves in special ways in student s lives as they interact with one another and with God together, so we endeavour to facilitate opportunities for these interactions to take place. I am encouraged about the future every time we gather (perhaps that s why I continue to be involved!). I sense the Holy Spirit moving in our student s lives in profound ways, and am reminded that the Lord is at work in and through our ministry. I anticipate a positive future as I see young people eagerly taking on leadership roles. Many of our churches purposefully involve students in ministry and leadership roles. I encourage all of our churches 67

69 to find ways to engage your young people in acts of service and responsibility within your church family. Students can be a catalyst for change, a source of fresh energy and the genesis of creativity within our ministries. On our district, I am so pleased with our team of leaders who make up our NYI council. This past year our council consisted of: Jenn Tattrie (NYI Liaison), Rebecca Richardson (VP), Mitch Brower (Secretary), Ryan Herbert and Jake Ashton (Young Adult Reps), Dixon Wood and Lauren Schwartz (Sr. High Reps), Lauren Williams and Nathan Snow (Jr. High Reps) and Willow Frissell (Treasurer). This group of young people have a passion for youth ministry and are eager to get involved in the tasks of leadership (even when it means taking time out from the activity to help). When I work with this crew I feel energized and challenged to continue in my role. Watching the way the Holy Spirit works in and through these young leaders has given me a tremendous sense of anticipation for the future and a sense of appreciation for the moment as I see that I am witness to and participating in the emergence and development of leaders for here and now. May God continue to bless the efforts of youth leaders on our council, on our district and in our local churches as we move forward this year. Respectfully Submitted, Ryan Wood Sunday School & Discipleship Ministries Why Sunday School? At the very heart of congregational life in the church, Sunday School plays a vital role in fulfilling the mission of the Church of the Nazarene to make Christ-like disciples in the nations. Mission: The mission of Sunday School & Discipleship Ministries International (SDMI) is to carry out the Great Commission to children, youth, and adults in preparation for a lifetime of being and making Christ-like disciples in the nations. Purpose: To be a people of prayer, engaged in the Word, making Christ-like disciples. To intentionally develop relationships with unreached people so that they become Christ-like disciples making Christ-like disciples. To teach the Word of God to children, youth, and adults so that they are saved, sanctified wholly, and maturing in Christian experience that results in a life of compassion, evangelism, Christian education, and disciple making. To encourage everyone to faithfully engage in a discipleship ministry such as Sunday school/bible studies, small groups, and other disciple-making ministries. Objectives: To reach the largest number of unchurched people for Christ and the church, 68

70 bringing them into fellowship, teaching the Word of God effectively, and encompassing their salvation; teaching the doctrines of the Christian faith and developing Christlike character, attitudes, and habits; helping to establish Christian homes; preparing believers for membership in the church and equipping them for appropriate Christian ministries. (Nazarene Manual 145.2) To that end, your district SDMI council has worked hard to plan a convention that will support, equip, and provide resources to the churches of Canada West District, as each strives to fulfill our corporate calling to make Christ-like disciples in our own communities. We have provided workshops on: 1. Discipleship What is discipleship? How do you disciple someone? What does practical discipleship look like in day-to-day life? 2. Equipping and Empowering Lay Leaders 3. Guiding a Teen Through Crisis of Faith As well, we are offering opportunities to dialogue and view resources available to you on topics such as Nazarene Safe, Journeying with Someone who is Dying, Resources to Support Someone Battling Pornography, Social Media, the Discipleship Place Website, and our new District Children s Ministry Coordinator. Please take advantage of the opportunities available to you through our Table Talks Friday at noon, as well as the resource table set up in the alcove beside the cafeteria. Each church will also be provided with a memory stick to take back to their local congregations, containing links, files, resources, information, and contact people on the district in the area of both SDMI and NMI, which we hope will be a valuable resource for you to take back to your local church. It is our prayer that you will find this convention to be a time of inspiration, renewal, and equipping so that you are able to return to your area of ministry refreshed, supported, and perhaps even with some new ideas or resources to take home with you! And as we look toward this new year ahead of us, your district SDMI council will continue to look for fresh and creative ways to support, train, and further equip you in your ministries as Christ-like disciples making Christ-like disciples. Stay tuned! Respectfully submitted, Leah Baker SDMI Chairperson Camp Harmattan District Report 2017 Thank you for your interest and support in the camping ministry of Camp Harmattan. Camp Harmattan not only serves as a great rallying point for us on the Canada West District but also serves our nearby 69

71 communities in practical and personal ways. Our staff at Camp Harmattan is truly a joy to work with. Last year, Rebecca Richardson celebrated her fifth year of working at Camp Harmattan, Trent McDowell who has completed four at camp and James Kirby was welcomed in the fall on our team as the team leader for the facility. Ashley Reist left our team to pursue other opportunities in Calgary. The competence of this team is truly a blessing to have at Camp Harmattan. There were 10 broad areas of focus that Matt and his team continue to work on at Camp Harmattan. (1) Continue to elevate the spiritual fervour and focus of Camp Harmattan's Children and Youth Camp ministry. (2) Continue to strengthen the connection with local Churches of the Nazarene and other local evangelical churches in the surrounding areas. (3) Develop the retreat in a box and school ministry to effectively serve students in this area. (4) Develop a year round ministry focus for Camp Harmattan which involves strategic partnerships and evangelistic focuses in Central Alberta. (5) Continue to improve the expenditures of Camp Harmattan while looking for new ways to generate revenue. (6) Develop a rental strategy to potentially grow the rental income for Camp Harmattan. (7) Develop creative and innovative ways that we can advertise who and what Camp Harmattan is and does. (8) Strategic partnership with Lakeshore Bible Camp. (9) Clean, removal (if needed) and the systematic ordering of Camp Harmattan and the facilities that exist. (10) Create internal maintenance strategies that are sustainable and economically feasible for Camp Harmattan. This year, we saw 302 children and youth come to a week of camp at Camp Harmattan whether as a camper or in a volunteer leadership position through our Work Crew or All-Access Training Program. Overall, we saw 18 children and youth enter into a life-saving relationship with Jesus. Once again, we are committed to a Biblical narrative approach and studied what it meant to be the people of God. It was a great summer that saw many students fall deeper in love with Jesus. Please continue to pray for this upcoming year especially in light of the financial pressure that many families are feeling during this economic downturn that our province is experiencing. Many families are already asking for financial support in sending their children to camp this summer. See many of you at Family Camp! C. Assembly Committees Report of the District Assembly Finance Committee This report is to be reviewed by the local church board at the first board meeting following District Assembly. 70

72 Local Church Policy and Practice Recommendations regarding Finance: 1. Giving to Others (GTO): a) The district allocation has been set at 8.5% of adjusted income; 6% for the district, which will include allotments to auxiliaries ($10, each for NMI, SDMI and NYI) and 2.5% for Education. Income is defined as all income that is eligible for a giving receipt, less World Evangelism and 10% Approved Specials. (Approval for 10% project status must be made through the district office and will be approved by the Board of General Superintendents.) The following items are not eligible for a giving receipt and are not included in income: pass through funds, interest, capital gains, insurance claims, rental income, business income and refunds. The World evangelism fund percentage is 5.5% of adjusted income. The total local church Giving to Others is 14% (8.5% District and Education, 5.5% World Evangelism Fund). b) The District Superintendent and District Advisory Board may schedule a consultation meeting with the pastor and church board of congregations that are not contributing the recommended percentage to others. c) New Starts are encouraged to contribute through their sponsoring church. d) We encourage churches to recognize this as a tithes and offerings model and participate on a monthly basis. e) We recommend that each church contribute to Nazarene Theological Seminary and observe Seminary Sunday, the last Sunday of January each year by distributing Nazarene Theological Seminary publicity materials and contribute by receiving an offering on behalf of the campaign; or make provision in their church budget for a seminary gift. 2. We recommend that each local church take out a membership with the Canadian Council of Christian Charities and familiarize themselves with the information and policies provided and avail themselves of the training and one-on-one consultations as needed. 3. The recommended honorarium for a speaker in the AM worship service is $ plus expenses. Churches are encouraged to reserve $50.00 a month in an account set aside to cover a supply pastor should the regular pastor be away on a speaking engagement, continuing education, vacation, sick days, sabbatical or short term disability. 4. We recommend that each church board be urged to facilitate the development of an adequate church financial plan. A budget setting procedure and a sample expenditure budget is available from the district office. The following are recommendations: a) Churches are advised to project a balanced budget, not a deficit budget. b) It is wise not to project Tithe and Offering income increase to be more than 12% of that received in the previous year. c) We recommend that each congregation include an expenditure line in their budget and make regular deposits to a savings account (or some other similar account) in order to provide for property upkeep needs. 71

73 d) We recommend that each congregation include a budget line for and make deposits into a savings account (or some other similar account) in order to cover additional costs related to the pastoral sabbatical. e) Since a measurement of church health is per capita giving, attention should be given to this by the pastor and church board. Per capita income refers to the total giving divided by the average Sunday morning worship attendance. An amount that indicates a church is healthy is $ If the per capita giving is significantly below this figure, it could be indicating there is little instruction in giving and/or vision and challenge is unclear. If on the other hand, the per capita giving is significantly above this figure it could be indicating, outreach is lacking. f) Each stewardship committee should develop a procedure to ensure that funds are properly received, accounted for, and reported, as Manual, par The financial records and practices of our Churches must be reviewed yearly. We recommend that each congregation conduct either a professionally conducted financial review or one conducted by an independent audit committee at least once every five years (in years that end in 0 and 5, ie: 2020) and report to the district that the review has been completed. g) We further recommend that the church board and/or finance committee of each congregation review and implement the Money Handling Guidelines. (sent to treasurers, board secretaries and pastors annually) h) It is recommended that whenever a local church is experiencing any of the following situations, the District Superintendent will be informed by the Pastor, Board secretary or Board treasurer (Please note that the Board secretary or treasurer should copy the Pastor on any report that is sent.) so that additional advisement and support can be provided: i. Giving has declined more than 12% or offerings are consistently below expenditures. ii. No Giving to Others has been contributed for two months or more. iii. The health care premiums have been unpaid for two months or more. iv. There are bills that have been outstanding for two months or more, or church is chronically late paying bills. v. There are insufficient funds to maintain or upgrade the church building (ie: roof repair, carpet replacement, etc.) as needed. 6. Local congregations with funds to invest should follow the Local Church Investment Guide. (available from the District office) 7. Local churches selling property or using capital funds shall adhere to the Sale of Church owned Property and the use of capital funds policy (available from District Office). 8. When a local church desires to borrow money the Approval to Borrow Money application (available from the district office) must be completed. 9. When a local church has funds in place and wishes to undertake a capital project that will involve expenses greater than 10% of the church s annual income, we request that as a courtesy the local church advise the District of their intent. 72

74 10. When a local church desires to purchase property, or lease property, the procedure outlined in the document Approval to purchase or lease (available from the District Office) must be followed. 11. The following information regarding taxation of gifts to pastors, staff or volunteers should be noted: a) All cash and near cash gifts (such as gift certificates) from the church are taxable. Funds that are forgiven or gifted are taxable benefits to the pastor. Note that it is the recipient s responsibility to ensure the amount is claimed as income on their tax return unless the gift is over $ If the gift is over $500.00, the church should issue a T4A. b) Persons are allowed to receive 2 tax exempt gifts (non-cash or non-gift certificate) of up to $ in value per year. (such as a painting or office chair) c) A love offering given by parishioners to pastor or staff is neither taxable nor receipt-able. Local Church Policy & Practice Recommendations regarding Pastoral Arrangements: 1. Pastoral Arrangements a) The Written Understandings Document. In accordance with Manual paragraph 115.2, 115.4, 129.4, each congregation will develop an employment agreement called Written Understandings prior to calling their pastor. Each year, the pastor and church board will conduct a planning session to renew the expectations and goals of the church and the Written Understandings shall be updated. In 2014 a simplified version of the Written Understanding was provided and local churches may use this for renewals if they prefer. It is the responsibility of the Secretary of the Board in cooperation with the Pastor and Church Board to ensure these responsibilities are carried out, and annually send an original signed copy of the Written Understandings to the District Office. This agreement should be developed in a manner that includes all district and local church employment policies and practices. b) Salaries and Benefits: Salaries and Benefits are to be developed with care and compassion and in accordance with the financial ability of the congregation. Further guidance for salary development is found on the Salary Grid (available from district office). Involvement in the Church of the Nazarene Canada s RSP plan is a mandatory requirement for all paid clergy employed 30 hours or more a week in a pastoral role. The minimum contribution for pastoral staff persons is 10% - 5% from the church and 5% from the pastor and the contribution is to be made regularly each month. This agreement does not apply to temporary employees such as the Interim Pastor, Supply Pastor or retired Clergy unless specific arrangements are made. We further advise that it is strongly recommended for the church to contribute 5% RSP for part time clergy working 30 hours or less. It is optional for the employee to contribute. We further advise that other paid employees who are not employed as a pastor may be involved in the RSP program at any level they wish to be. It is not mandatory on the part of either the employee or the church. Since the RSP program is the only retirement program we have, Churches should give careful consideration to providing an adequate RSP for employees who are the only or major wage earner of their 73

75 family. i. It is also mandatory for all full time paid pastors and staff to participate in the District health care plan. Health and dental may be waived if the employee is covered by the spouse. It is recommended that when Pastors or their family members are experiencing a need for prescriptions that will exceed $ per family (or $ for singles), that they join the Blue Cross non-group plan, in order to ensure that our group premiums are moderated. To assist with this, 25% of non-group premiums will be reimbursed to the pastor by the district. It is further recommended that part time staff also be enrolled in the part time staff health care plan available through the district. ii. Senior Pastors who are members of the Blue Cross Supplementary Health Care Plan and whose churches are contributing GTO are also eligible for a $ annual wellness benefit. Please refer to the Wellness Benefit Guide for more information. iii. Local churches are encouraged to enroll in the Employment Insurance Supplementary Insurance Plan. c) Pastoral Housing If deemed advantageous, local congregations should work to make it possible for all clergy pastors and staff to purchase their own home. Churches planning to loan money to the pastor for purchase of a home, should read the Church loans to Pastors policy. (available from the District office) d) Local Church Staff Arrangements. We affirm that the Pastoral, associate and office staff ministry (paid and/or unpaid) is a necessity for the congregation which desires to grow and minister in an excellent manner. We urge all congregations to follow the Biblical directive of Ephesians 4:11-12 of thoroughly preparing lay persons for ministry and affirm that the primary responsibility of pastoral and associate staff ministry is to enable and enhance lay ministry in the church. It is essential that our Senior Pastors develop skill in locating, hiring and motivating staff. Staff positions must be renewed annually. We direct the District Superintendent not to renew employment of staff without assuring the yearly review has been completed and the Written Understandings are updated. (Manual 160.2). Since Manual paragraph 160 indicates that DS and DAB approval of staff in a local church or any subsidiary and/or affiliated corporations of the local congregation is based upon the two criteria that paid associates will not: i. devitalize the spirit of free service by all its members, or ii. tax the church s financial resources including the contribution of giving to others. Therefore, approval for hiring staff and for the renewal of staff hiring will not be granted to a congregation that has not contributed 14% of adjusted income to others. Exceptions to this policy may be approved by the District Advisory Board. That all churches provide financial assistance for their Pastor, pastoral staff, elected delegates and auxiliary presidents and chairpersons to attend the District Assembly and auxiliary conventions. Local Church Policy and Practice, Other: 1. In order for a Church Board to be in harmony with the Canadian government s arms length policy, at least ½ of its membership must be at arm s length. Persons not at arm s length includes close family members such as father, mother, sister, brother, spouse and in-laws. When calculating arms length, the total number includes all groups of non-arms length persons. For further clarification, please 74

76 contact the district office. In the event that family members of the pastor and/or paid staff are elected members of the Church board or duly elected auxiliary leaders, we advise that in instances where issues related to family members are to be discussed, to avoid conflict of interest, that they be provided the opportunity to speak to the issue but then be dismissed from the meeting and that they would abstain from voting on business related to these matters. 2. Since the Pastor, Church Board Secretary and Church Board Treasurer have various legal responsibilities assigned by the Manual, we recommend each year the Pastor, Church Board Secretary and Church Board Treasurer review the responsibilities as listed in paragraphs We especially draw attention to paragraph regarding protecting the property and liability issues of the congregation. 3. The local church should develop a designated giving policy that is documented and known to constituents. An example would be: Our church policy is to contribute 14% of all donations to missions, education and district ministry. 4. We affirm that in cooperation with the spirit of Manual paragraphs 29.2, 33.1 and 33.2, churches and all subsidiary local and district ministries do not use lottery and raffle types of funding and do not solicit these types of monies. District Finance and Property Policy and Practice: 1. That approved travel expense for all district boards and committee meetings be 35 cents per kilometre plus reimbursement of other approved applicable expenses (with pre-approval). The district will reimburse either mileage and expenses, or cost of flight, whichever is less. Please note, this is not intended to be a guideline for local congregations to use in reimbursing their pastor and staff for travel. 2. That all District Boards and District Auxiliaries have their financial records and financial policies audited by a competent auditor or independent audit committee each year and report to the district assembly. 3. That since there has been no provision made in the District financial plan to subsidize delegates to the General Conventions; the various district auxiliary organizations should plan their finances to provide for the expense of each of their delegates. This will be accumulated in the District Investment Fund. 4. All gifts of stocks, bonds, and annuities will be receipted at the closing market price on the settlement date of the transfer. 5. That since we are endeavouring to finance district operations from increasing returns from the District Investment Fund rather than by increasing local church percentages for Giving to others, we encourage each church to arrange for a Financial Management and Estate Planning Seminar to be conducted in each local church. 6. District Investment Account Principles. The following are the principles used by Canada West District for financial management of the operational budget and the Investment Account. a) It is our intention to operate the district with a balanced budget. 75

77 b) Income comes primarily from local church Giving to Others and from return on investment from the Investment Account. c) All program and operational programs and expenditures must be projected and prepared for in advance and planned for in the year s operational budget. d) The rate paid to bond holders will be reviewed in April and October. 60 days notice will be given in the event of a decrease in the rate paid. Currently, Bond holders are paid 1.75%. e) We request local churches inform their constituents of the opportunity of investing in the bond fund; letting them know that any funds generated over and above what is paid to the bondholder, will be used for ministry. f) Deposits from individuals are capped at $150, and 90 days notice will be required for individuals requesting withdrawals over $100, g) The district will co-sign on property on a case by case basis based on risk assessment. Ministries on which the district has co-signed their loans will be asked to provide statements confirming their payment progress and anticipated date of payout annually. h) As stated in our Investment fund policy, the excess of (investment) income over disbursements of the fund will be used to finance the various activities of the Canada West District Church of the Nazarene ministry programs. As a result, it is our practice that, unless DAB approval is received: i. We will only use ROI from the Investment account, not capital or principal, for ministry programs, and ii. Capital monies (principal in the Investment Account) will not be used for programs and projects except for those for which the principal has been raised and designated, and iii. Capital in the Investment Account is to be preserved primarily for gaining return on investment. i) Capital purchases of property and equipment (i.e. computers, automobiles) may be made from the Investment Account providing depreciation and losses will be returned from the operating account. Real estate purchases will be dealt with in a different manner.

Minutes of Conventions Minutes of the NMI and SDMI Conventions: Spoken Agenda for Business Session Friday June 9, 8:30-10:00AM Call to Worship Carilyn Afaganis Psalm 96 Sing to the LORD a new song; sing to the LORD, all the earth. Sing to the LORD, praise his name; proclaim his salvation day after day. Declare his glory among the nations, his marvelous deeds among all peoples. For great is the LORD and most worthy of praise; he is to be feared above all gods. For all the gods of the nations are idols, but the LORD made the heavens. Splendor and majesty are before him; strength and glory are in his sanctuary. Ascribe to the LORD, O families of nations, ascribe to the LORD glory and strength. Ascribe to the LORD the glory due his name; bring an offering and come into his courts. Worship the LORD in the splendor of his [1] holiness; tremble before him, all the earth. Say among the nations, "The LORD reigns." The world is firmly established, it cannot be moved; he will judge the peoples with equity. Let the heavens rejoice, let the earth be glad; let the sea resound, and all that is in it; let the fields be jubilant, and everything in them. Then all the trees of the forest will sing for joy; they will sing before the LORD, for he comes, he comes to judge the earth. He will judge the world in righteousness and the peoples in his truth.
