Pastor Christopher Clarke
Chris joined the Church of St. Andrew and St. Paul in his late 20s, which began his faith journey in the Presbyterian Church of Canada (PCC) and where he experienced God’s call to ministry.
Chris attended the Presbyterian College in Montreal. During college, he was a student Minister at the PCC church plant in Barrhaven. He graduated in May 2014 and was called to serve a congregation in British Columbia.
His special enjoyment is preaching and Bible study. He writes regularly at www.christian-spirituality.ca
Chris believes that God places our churches exactly where he wants them and that there are opportunities to minister in the immediate area. Chris, his wife Mary, three children, and three (3!!!) cats live in Westboro and can often be found hiking, cycling, or skiing in Gatineau Park.
