Lynn Harrison (Minister of Spiritual Care) or Rev. Shawn Newton (Senior Minister) for support on a limited basis in times of difficulty, or when seeking personal growth or spiritual deepening.
The Ministers are supported in providing care to the Congregation by the Spiritual Care and Caring Connections Teams.
