OUR TEAM

God has called Resurgence to be led by a team of people rather than a single individual. Each member of our Lead Team has a different story, background, and God-given gifts and talents that together create a healthy and well-balanced approach to Resurgence. By calling together a team of people in unity, Resurgence is greater than the sum of its parts. Through a team approach, God is calling us to be conduits for the dreams and destiny found in each person. Together as a team, and together with you, we will build up the church and the body of Christ and see people experience the fullness of God.

Join Our Staff Team

Founded in 2008, Resurgence Initiatives is a Christian community focused on inspiring people to arise together to affect their spheres of influence; a catalytic movement of people who expect the impossible, experience God’s love, empower their communities, and engage in expanding God’s Kingdom. The desire and heartbeat comes from Ezekiel 37; to see a “rising again” of our nation and beyond. The interdenominational intergenerational ministry and reach of Resurgence involves missions, gatherings, retreats, worship events, and itinerant travel, all led collaboratively by a leadership team, an Executive Director, and a Board of Directors. The mandate of Resurgence is rooted firmly in Jesus Christ and centered around intentionally raising a culture of unity, honour and servanthood rooted in a lifestyle of prayer and mission.

Building and stewarding this culture requires a myriad of tasks be carried out behind the scenes not only effectively and efficiently, but with a heart in line with our values. Therefore, in addition to the leadership teams in place, we are building a staff of people that not only believe in these values but helps realize the vision Jesus has placed in our hearts!
