Induction Services

This past weekend, two of our Free Methodist churches in Ontario formally inducted their new pastors for ministry in their local context.  Rosemary Legge has been serving Dryden Free Methodist Church since November 1, 2025 and Colin Leaver just began as the new Lead Pastor at Picton Free Methodist Church, effective January 1, 2026. 

A Service of Induction is a meaningful time whereby a new Lead Pastor affirms their calling and commitment to the local church and the local church, in turn, formally welcomes the Pastor into a place of leadership and authority.    In the case of both Pastor Colin and Pastor Rosemary, their ministries are affirmed by the denomination while they are still on the credentialing journey. 

Congratulations to Dryden FMC and Picton FMC on the induction of your new Pastors!  May this be the beginning of a wonderful season of fruitfulness and joy in your communities of faith!
