Join us for a conversational online webinar. Tent-making has a long tradition in the Christian church. In the New Testament, Paul, Priscilla and Aquila, worked as tent-makers to support their ministries. From a contemporary perspective, tent-making or multi-vocational ministry, is drawing an increasing amount of attention. James Watson will guide our conversation to what the questions could, or should be as churches and leaders consider Multivocational Ministry.

Meet James Watson

James Watson and his wife Cathi joined a Mennonite Church Eastern Canada (MCEC) church plant during the final year of his seminary training. Everyone in leadership at that plant were tentmakers – they had other work/employment outside of the church. After four years as an administrator in the MCEC office, he became a mission worker with Outreach Canada offering training, coaching, and resources to planters interdenominationally. He was hired in 2008 by The Salvation Army as a congregational health and planting consultant and has continued to collaborate interdenominationally in research and training on a variety of missiological issues (church planting, immigrant settlement, evangelism, tentmaking, congregational flourishing). He completed his PhD in missiology at Fuller Theological Seminary.

Join us for the follow up webinar in January: Multivocational Leader? How might we have the right conversation for a unique fit?
