Ministry and Money International

It is an exciting time for the Anglican Diocese of Ottawa. A vision for Christian life and ministry is guiding us to new possibilities that require the support of all those who find a spiritual home in the parishes of our diocese.

We are seeking your help today as we continue to “Strengthen our Congregations” and “Focus our Ministries Outward”. Recently, the Diocese undertook a comprehensive strategic planning process to map out new directions. The plan called for the diocese to refine its vision, mission, priorities, strategies and action plans for revitalization. That plan continues successfully today and the Diocese of Ottawa is now seeking support for that continued vision and plan.

A Planning-Feasibility Study will further help us determine our ability to undertake a successful financial initiative to raise the money needed to support our plans. Such a study is designed to gather information and opinions from parishioners and community members. Ministry & Money Inc., a fund-raising consulting firm that works exclusively with churches and religious institutions, has been retained to carry out this study. We are hoping that you will complete the on-line questionnaire by clicking on the link below. You will be invited to comment on the Statement of Need in advance of a potential fund-raising campaign. We want to stress that you will not be asked for a financial commitment at this time and your individual online responses will be completely confidential.

Please review the Statement of Need and accept our invitation to participate in the study - it is essential to a proper planning process. With your help we can gain a clearer sense of the support for the needs at the Diocese. We ask for your encouragement, support and prayers. Thank you in advance for your cooperation and ongoing commitment.
