When You Work for the Church

A Large Heart for Small Churches

The Canadian Small Church Ministry Centre is all about resourcing small churches in Canada. From blog posts to podcasts, from book reviews to online resources, from what the church contributes to Canadian society, to profiles on creative outreach, to how a church might learn to thrive after crisis, the Centre offers a wealth of encouragement and support.

Last week, it was my pleasure to talk with director Ron Baker for the Centre’s podcast series, This Is Us! Canadian Small Churches in Action. Our conversation included some of my ministry journey, some practical ideas for soul care, what it means to build resilience, and more. Thank you, Ron, for having me as a guest and for your large heart for small churches.

Soul Care Is Whole Care for a Small Church

Hello,

I’m April Yamasaki

Welcome to When You Work for the Church. I’ve been a church volunteer and a full-time pastor. I’ve led small groups and served on denominational committees. When I resigned from pastoral ministry to focus on my writing, I knew that I wanted to be—needed to be—grounded in a local congregation. I love the church!

But I also know that churches and church organizations have not always lived up to their calling, have brought harm instead of healing. So I started this website to share resources for doing ministry better, and pray that together we might serve more faithfully and effectively.
