Meet the Chaplain

Rev. Tim Nethercott was ordained in the United Church following careers in Book Publishing, teaching English and working with refugees. He has worked and studied in Europe and Asia. Tim’s iterestes include Contemplative Spirituality, Multi-Faith dialogue, music and cycling.

“Besides providing an entrance into congregational life, the Campus Ministry gave me a foundation for questioning--ways to look at my faith and a place to start growing that faith in community. I had been developing that myself but I needed that place where I could be nurtured and grow.”

Michelle Johnson, B.A.

“The Campus Ministry has given students strength, hope, encouragement, family, spiritual guidance and fun! It really is a community of Spirit, love and soul.”

Katy Speerstra, B.Sc.
