Co-Vocational Canada
Many Jobs. One Calling.
The Co-Vocational Canada community is a community of ministers across Canada who are engaged in ministry in multiple areas. These ministers are critical members of organizations and ministries and face unique challenges as a result of being co-vocational. We want to provide a space to rethink the sacred work that co-vocational ministers are a part of, and partner with the many ministers across Canada who are engaged in this work.
Co-Vocational ministry can feel isolating, challenging, and exhausting. There is often little support or recognition for the ways that being co-vocational can impact the lives, of the ministers. This need is at the heart of the Co-Vocational Canada community. We want to bring co-vocational ministers together so that we can resource and strengthen each other.
This community is open to anyone who is in a part-time paid position of leadership in a church in Canada (supervising others, whether paid or volunteers), and one or more part-time paid positions elsewhere. If this describes you, then we would love to invite you into our community of ministers!
Joining the Co-Vocational Canada community begins with attending a Sacred Side Hustle event (2025 Dates Coming Soon)!
