Story Writers Needed!
Do you have the gift of story-telling?
Our e-Quip Diaconal Blog contains stories to inspire deacons and churches and to promote cross-pollination as churches share their 'best practices'. We are always on the lookout for writers that can gather these stories and share what churches and deacons are doing in Canada. We know God is at work and He is using churches in amazing ways!
Join our team of experienced writers across the country and help us share what deacons are up to as they equip their churches to show and share the love of Christ.

Consider being a Diaconal Coach
A Diaconal Coach (formerly called a Diaconal Ministry Developer or DMD) serves as an equipper and coach for local diaconates.
Their role is to help deacons grow in their understanding and capacity as leaders, providing coaching, support, encouragement and accountability for diaconates.
They do this by holding workshops and training events, by providing relevant resources, and by connecting deacons and churches to local organizations.
Our network of Diaconal Coaches is one of our most valuable tools to inspire and equip deacons across Canada. Each Coach receives modest remuneration and an expense budget.
