01
Raising up leaders for the church
In 2023, Vision Builders helped launch The Way College
Three years later, hear the difference it’s making in these students life & the way it’s serving the wider church
Projects for the year ahead
Vision Builders has helped prepare 20 interns for ministry over the past four years
“The internship was foundational. It not only helped me discern my calling, but also equipped me with practical experience and perspective that continue to serve me as I pursue vocational ministry for the long haul.”
— Noah Gray
Projects
-
Now entering its fifth year, our Ministry Internship is helping shape a new generation of leaders for the Canadian Church. More than 20 young men and women have moved through this program, gaining real, hands-on ministry experience alongside The Way staff, deepening their sense of vocational calling, and building the skills to serve faithfully for a lifetime. Five interns are currently in the program; we hope to welcome six new applicants for the 2026/2027 year.
-
In Fall 2026, we plan to pilot a new masters-level program with a small cohort of leaders, with our first public intake anticipated for Fall 2027. We believe that theologically formed leaders change churches—and that changed churches change nations.
-
This fall, we welcome Josh Thompson and his family to The Way staff for a dedicated season of training, formation, and preparation for church planting. As our pastor-in-residence, Josh will be immersed in the life and rhythms of our church as he prepares to plant a new congregation in the heart of downtown Edmonton in 2028.
02
Equipping pastors and churches
We want to see pastors strengthened & resourced to remain faithful in ministry for the long-haul
We’re making the theological education happening at The Way College accessible across Canada
Thanks to Vision Builders, this year we were able to launch an online, on-demand platform for Everyday Seminary

Projects for the year ahead
Bringing pastors together from across the country
In 2027, we’re partnering with The Pastorate to host a one-of-its-kind interdenominational pastors gathering for the Canadian church
Projects
-
In partnership with The Pastorate, The Way Church will help host a one-of-its-kind, interdenominational, Canadian pastors gathering. In May 2027, we plan to welcome approximately 500 pastors and their teams to Vancouver for three days of equipping, encouragement, and renewal.
-
We continue to make space for pastors and leaders from across the country who are seeking wisdom, resources, and connection. From sermon series and discipleship tools to direct conversations with our team, we are committed to being a church that gives generously to the broader church in Canada.
03
Church multiplication and revitalization
Our approach:
New sites of the The Way in Vancouver
New church plants in other cities across Canada
Projects for the year ahead
There are no evangelical churches in central Edmonton
In 2028, Josh Thompson and his team are planting a church to serve the 95,000+ people in the heart of the city
Projects
-
In 2028, Josh Thompson will plant a new church in the downtown core of Edmonton—and this year, through our pastor-in-residence program, we are investing into his preparation for that mission.
-
We are increasingly convicted that faithful growth means bringing The Way to new neighbourhoods in Vancouver. We are actively working toward the launch of a new site in the Fairview/Kitsilano area by September 2027—creating another space where people can encounter Jesus, find genuine community, and grow in their faith.
-
Church spaces across Vancouver are quietly disappearing as aging congregations and buildings age out of use. We believe these spaces should be reclaimed—not lost—as homes for vibrant communities of faith. To that end, we are launching an advisory team with a mandate to raise capital funds to acquire these spaces for future sites of The Way and new church plants, ensuring that neighbourhoods across our city have a place where the Church can gather for generations to come.
