And a Little Bit More:
Thank you for welcoming this Californian into your United Church of Canada family! I’m originally from Sacramento CA and settled in Vancouver BC in the summer of 2019 to attend Vancouver School of Theology. I enjoy strong Triple IPAs, perfectly roasted coffee, talking long walks in the Vancouver rain, taking long naps after said long walks, and occasionally playing Disc Golf with bad form and no skill.
I’m excited to serve the region’s campus ministry—having worked with children, youth, and young adults for the past fifteen years, I love watching and walking with them as they grow into and wrestle with their faith and journey with Jesus. It’s pure joy to get to know the region, ask deep questions, learn about successes and failures, and dream together as to how we can best care for our students as they make their way through college and beyond.
This is a special and specific ask from the Nominations committee to those with a passion for ministry with Young Adults - the Campus Ministry Advisory Committee is still seeking new members!Details are below, and if you feel called to serve our church in this way, please do put your name forward.
