Hello UNBC!

I am so thrilled to be getting started in this new position for Campus Ministry in Prince George! Always feels a little weird to write about yourself and in the third person…but if you’re interested, here’s more about me!

Can’t wait to meet you all and journey together at UNBC! 

Kendra has had a rich and interesting journey to ministry, and is so thrilled that these next steps of her journey are walking with campus communities in the north. Most recently, Kendra has been at the forefront of the Affirming Ministry journeys of the first two LGBTTQ2SIA+ Affirming congregations in Prince George (Trinity United Church, and Our Saviour's Lutheran Church), and is completing a Field Placement at the Interfaith Spiritual Care Centre at the University of Northern British Columbia. Christian education at all ages and stages of life is a passion for her, as well as community building in vibrant multi-faith and multi-cultural relationships driven by the values of peace and peace-making, justice, respect, love, and joyful embodiment of spirit. Her passion for combining spirit and movement is central to joyful embodiment of spirit, and to bringing spiritual practice into daily life for herself, others, and within community-building relationships. She brings with her decades of working in poverty and health justice projects in Latin America and the Caribbean, as well as working in health justice efforts partnering with Indigenous communities in northern British Columbia. 

Kendra is currently in her third year of a Masters of Theological Studies in Diaconal Ministry (a joint program with the Centre for Christian Studies and St. Stephen's College at the University of Alberta), and is on track for commissioning as a Diaconal Minister in the United Church upon completion.
