 Evangelism is not an extra program which can be added on to the life of an already busy parish. Rather it is the overflowing of life in a healthy congregation. Judy Paulsen shows us ways to grow a healthy congregation by helping members discover their gifts, so that as the congregation works together, there is an overflow into fruitful and lasting evangelism. |

Judy Paulsen lived her early childhood years in northwest India, where her parents served for fifteen years as Anglican missionaries. After her family returned to Canada, her father became the priest of a parish in the west of Ottawa. It was there at the age of fifteen that Judy made a personal commitment to live as a follower of Christ. (And she’s thankful that His commitment was steadier than hers.) The following year she was part of an evangelistic mission team to England. Throughout her twenties and thirties she served in most areas of parish life in Anglican parishes in Toronto, Montreal, and Timmins. Judy’s formal education includes a Master of Applied Science from McGill University and a Master of Divinity from Wycliffe College. She was ordained in the Anglican Church of Canada in 1998, and has served in three parishes in the Diocese of Toronto. Her curacy included a strong focus on youth ministry and contemporary worship music. She then served for two years as Director of Pastoral Care at Trinity, Streetsville. She is now the pastor of Christ Memorial Church in Oshawa, where she has served since 2003. Judy is married to Pat, and they have three children in their twenties. Her favorite activity is traveling anywhere with Pat. They dream about driving the Pan American highway from Chile to Alaska. Judy’s primary interests in ministry include leadership and the development of parishes as missional communities. Click here to read all articles by Judy Paulsen
