Welcoming Our Curate – Jordan Wellington

We are thrilled that God has blessed us with the gift of a Curate. During the past several years as church life has flourished and become busier, the need for additional clergy has become very apparent. We are so pleased to announce our new Curate: Jordan Wellington.

Jordan, who turned 30 this year, will begin his ministry with us on June 1, 2012. Jordan is a graduate of the University of Toronto where he earned an Honours B.A. with a Specialist in Christianity and Culture and a Minor in History. Following his B.A. Jordan attended Wycliffe College where he earned a Master of Divinity and a Master of Theological Studies specializing in Pastoral Care, Counseling and Spiritual Direction. Jordan also brings to us the gift of church restoration and will be a wonderful resource for us in terms of our two beautiful buildings.

We hope you will all welcome Jordan with open arms and enthusiasm and help him to settle into his new spiritual home.
