Director, Leader Strategies

Power to Change is at a defining moment.

We are stepping more fully into our calling as a Hub of Evangelism for the next generation—catalyzing fresh imagination, collaboration, strategies, and resourcing that mobilize followers of Jesus into His mission across Canada and beyond.

Leaders will play a decisive role in shaping what comes next. The Director of Leader Strategies is central to that mandate.

This is more than leading an established ministry. It is a catalytic mandate to mobilize and multiply leaders as a primary engine for mission—fueling the growth of 10,000+ Communities on Mission across Canada and beyond.

This role is anchored in Leader Impact, a nationally established marketplace ministry, and extends beyond it. Leader Impact currently operates in 37 cities across Canada, with 145 groups, 232 leaders, and more than 1,400 members, supported by a national team of 30 staff and affiliates.

The opportunity now is to build from this foundation by defining and advancing a broader vision that:

• Mobilizes leaders across multiple sectors as a primary engine for mission
• Expands beyond current models into a more integrated and scalable leader strategy
• Engages and releases a new generation of leaders on mission
• Builds momentum toward a vision of thousands of communities transformed through the gospel

We are seeking a leader who has demonstrated meaningful success and influence in the marketplace and now senses a deeper calling to steward their leadership, experience, and networks for significant Kingdom impact.

This is a rare opportunity to shape a national and international movement of leaders on mission—and to help unlock their influence for the sake of the gospel.

Power to Change’s vision is to be a Hub of Evangelism for the next generation—catalysing 10,000+ Communities on Mission across Canada and to the world over the next 5–10 years.

This vision builds on a core mission that has remained unchanged since our earliest days: to catalyse, equip, and support communities of believers to live on mission and make Jesus known—especially among those not currently being reached.

For nearly 60 years, Power to Change has been a catalytic force for evangelism in Canada. Today, we engage across five key mission contexts—students, sport, leaders, families, and global—supported by catalytic expressions that enable innovation and new models of mission.

We are a national movement of over 450 staff, mobilising thousands of believers, and stewarding an annual budget of nearly $40 million.

What lies ahead will require a renewed vision and bold rethinking of how we call, form, and deploy leaders—fueling a movement that is multiplying, Spirit-led, and reaching far beyond our current impact.

Reporting to Andy Smits, Executive Director of Next Generation, the Director of Leader Strategies serves on a national leadership team of mission context leaders, working collaboratively to advance Power to Change’s shared vision, strategic priorities, and mission outcomes.

This includes:

• Shaping and executing strategies for leaders in alignment with P2C’s national vision
• Contributing to organizational priorities, collaboration, and shared outcomes
• Building alignment and momentum across ministries, mission contexts, and partnerships
• Representing Power to Change among marketplace, church, and national leaders

This role carries both national and international leadership responsibility and movement‑building influence.

Flowing from this leadership responsibility, the Director leads the development and execution of Leader Strategies—mobilizing leaders across Canada as a driving force for mission and multiplication.

This work centres on six interconnected priorities:

• Leader Strategies & Pathways
  Define and build a clear, compelling strategy for how leaders across Canada are engaged, equipped, and mobilized into mission—creating pathways from initial engagement through to multiplication, aligned with the vision of catalysing thousands of Communities on Mission.
• Extend beyond current Leader Impact models into a broader ecosystem of leader engagement—developing new expressions that reach emerging and…
