Together these three inspirational Kingdom leaders have over 156 years of ministry experience!

Points to Ponder
- Someday everything you have will belong to somebody else, but everything you arewill be yours forever. (Denn Guptill)
- My real job is to make people more like Jesus and to love Jesus more. It’s not just about getting more Christians, it’s about getting people more Christian. (Brent Ingersoll)
- There was a moment in the middle of 2020 when God said to me, “You’re all praying for things to go back to normal, but if things never get better are you still going to serve Me?” (Mike MacNeil)
for leaders to think more strategically
about doing church?

Check out these great resources above at www.wesleyan.org – we are blessed by the many ways our denominational leadership serves the front lines of the local church.
- Sermons: We’ve recorded two sermons which churches can use to provide a respite for those preaching. We plan to provide more sermons in the coming weeks.
- Greeting and update: We have included a brief video update on how God has been working at Kingswood University during the past 10 months. Churches deserve to know how we’re stewarding their investment.
- Free classes: Pastors may welcome the opportunity to sit in on a virtual class session to learn more about a topic of interest. The care package contains a list of classes and syllabi for those classes. Anyone interested can contact our Registrar for more information or to register (rodgersonm@kingswood.edu or 506-432-4406).
- Seminar on Personal Wellness: We’ve provided a video file to a seminar presented by Dr. Allen Lee, Professor of Christian Counselling at Kingswood University.
- Youth group: Seasoned youth speakers, Shaun Miller and Zach Painter, are happy to lead a virtual youth service for an evening. If COVID-related restrictions allow, this could be done in-person. Anyone interested should contact enrolment@kingswood.edu.
