Rev. Rebecca Jess
Vice PresidentRebecca serves as a minister at Armour Heights Presbyterian Church in North York. Having graduated from Knox College at the University of Toronto in 2018, and ordained
to the Presbyterian Church in Canada soon after, Rebecca is fairly new to
congregational ministry, but not new to life and work in the Presbyterian Church. Before entering seminary, Rebecca was one of the Co-Executive Directors of the Cairn Family of Camps in Baysville, ON—a set of summer camps owned and operated within the church. Working with children, youth, and young adults is a passion of hers, and continues to be one of main areas of her focus in ministry.
Rebecca stays connected to the life and work of Cairn Camps as a member of its Alumni Committee and as a summer chaplain. She is also a founding member of Re:animate: a group within the PCC whose vision is to nurture courageous leadership,
inclusive communities, and creative ministry within the church.
Having volunteered many times over the years to make and serve meals at EHM, Rebecca has seen firsthand the impact that a hot meal, meaningful conversation, and spiritual nourishment can make in the lives of those who reside at and use the services of EHM. Rebecca is grateful to be part of the team of people who serve within the EHM
community.
