Finding Our Way Southridge Community Church

In recent years, the importance of church boards has only heightened, where governance, oversight, protection and accountability have arguably never been needed more. So how does someone become that kind of leader? And, more importantly, how does a local church develop and position those kinds of leaders? Hear @shaneritzema describe his journey of becoming an Elder and Board member @southridge_church, and how he's growing into the kind of leader who can serve the church and Kingdom effectively in this new role. #findingourwaytogether

Over the years as a multi-site church, each of our @southridge_church locations has developed its own identity. And with that unique personality comes unique challenges and opportunities. As part of a 3-part mini-series on the state of each of our locations, hear our St. Catharines Location Pastor, @jeffmartens, share about local church life these days - in a way that can both update those of us in our community, and equip those of us leading in other local churches! #findingourwaytogether

In recent weeks, Southridge has received some media attention because of recent changes to how it operates our homeless shelter. Over the years, the scope of our ministry to those experiencing homelessness has grown, and has changed especially during the pandemic. 

So where are things at these days, and - more importantly - where are things headed for the future? Hear our Executive Director of Homelessness Services, Annie Froese, clarify where we're at and where we're headed! 

Every year, in partnership with GLN Canada, Southridge Community Church hosts the Global Leadership Summit. And over the years, the vision and impact of the Summit has grown. Hear our Event Manager, Christine Baggs, describe the impact of the GLS on her life personally, and how we can not only experience that kind of impact ourselves again this year, but - more importantly - how we can each personally leverage the Summit in our workplaces and spheres of influence to grow the leadership culture across our region, FOR our region! #findingourwaytogether
