Field Research

Our urban centres are rapidly changing. The context in which the church lives and serves is a lot different than it was 10-20 years ago. Churches and educational institutions like Tyndale Seminary need to be aware of such changes and how they will impact the way we do ministry.

Through the Tyndale Intercultural Ministries Centre (TIM Centre), we have enthusiastically participated in cutting edge research projects since 2010. All of our projects are guided by our commitment to facilitating growth within our ever-changing multicultural context in practical and powerful ways.

What makes our research projects unique is that we intentionally conduct action-based research—participating with people through research instead of conducting research on people. Also, as we are in Canada, our focus is specifically towards a Canadian context. Some of our past projects have been incredibly insightful and influential in this way.
