2023 Annual Ministries Report
Willingdon Church

WAM Highlights

Community of Creatives

We help artists discover their calling and develop their gifts of service to the church and community.

Worked to develop stronger discipling and training through the year with special events, weekly rehearsals, WAM FAM "Team" nights and created the WAM Summer Sessions -- featuring 11 different workshops in 9 days with 197 in attendance.

Christmas Outreach Presentation

We wanted to creatively share the message of Jesus through arts and artists to our community through expanding our Christmas Outreach Presentation, by producing a new musical and engaging more artists to serve in this ministry.

5 sold out performances, with over 6400 people in attendance to hear a clear representation of the Gospel presented through the new musical "A Christmas Carol."

216 WAM Volunteers working together with other church ministries to make this happen. More than doubled the total of drama and dance roles for volunteers from previous year.

Intergenerational and Intercultural Artists

We worship God with all that we are on and off the platform.

Worked at cultivating worship services and experiences that honoured and glorified God by leading people to enter into His presence through the power of the Holy Spirit: Utilizing a variety of creative methods and teams including band, frontline, choirs (kids, worship and ILM Mass), orchestras (volunteer and production) and more.
