Meet Your Canada West Regional Connector, Liz

What is a Regional/Affinity Group Connector?

Regional Connectors are available to support your congregation and ministry leaders by connecting them with denominational resources so you can thrive in the ministry God has given you. Each of our connectors serve a region of the CRCNA. In addition, our Affinity Group Connectors are the point people for our Hispanic, Korean, and youth/young adult members. 

What region or affinity group do you serve? 

This region includes the four classes of BC South East, BC North West, Alberta North and Alberta South/Saskatcehwan. These classes are spread across the 3 western provinces of Canada: Saskatchewan, Alberta and British Columbia. 

How did you come into your role? 

Prior to coming into this role, I served 8 years as the BCSE and BCNW regional catalyzer for Faith Formation (now Thrive). I also served for 22 years as the Children’s Pastor at Willoughby CRC in Langley BC. 

In what area of ministry are you most passionate about encouraging and equipping congregations? 

I am passionate about nurturing and supporting healthy relationships within congregations and helping churches build more connected communities that reflect God’s love and grace.

I am also passionate about justice and reconciliation.
