brief bio

Part of the fun of this job is getting to travel with George Werner and the Mission Canada team to speak at our Bible Colleges, this fall. I am looking forward to going to Summit Pacific College at the end of this month, where they will put  me to work both teaching and preaching. In October, it will be Vanguard College in Edmonton, right near my old alma mater, the University of Alberta. More about all of that later.

However, when I first started, I received a request to provide a brief bio to say something about myself to the schools. So, here is what I wrote. I figured that I may as well post it, because it says a lot in a few words.

Robb is the Campus Ministries Coordinator for Mission Canada. His role involves facilitating vision, networking, support and equipping for PAOC campus ministry across the country. He has extensive experience in initiating and coordinating campus ministry.

He was the founding pastor of Point Grey Community Church in Vancouver, near UBC; a church that from its beginning has maintained a vibrant vision for reaching the university for Christ. He was also the director of BC Campus Ministries, having played a key role in its inception, growth and vital relationship with the BC Yukon District.

At the same time as planting an innovative new church in Burlington, ON, he was the chaplain at Redeemer University College. He wrote his doctoral thesis on chaplaincy to post-secondary institutions.

Robb has five kids, ranging from 12 to 22. His oldest, David, is active in The Embassy, a dynamic PAOC student church at the University of Waterloo. He is married to Karen, who was actively involved in campus ministry with him at UBC in the establishment of University Christian Ministry, one of the largest Christian groups on campus.
