Rev. Anita Van Nest has been the pastor at Stamford Presbyterian Church since Sept. 2014. As a storyteller and former teacher, Anita loves to bring the narratives of the Bible alive while speaking into the context of everyday life for real people.

Some of the themes she explores in worship on Sunday mornings include “Who is Jesus?”; “How does the Holy Spirit inspire and provoke us?”; and “How can we be children of God?”. There are no questions to big or too little to be asked and Anita welcomes congregational participation in worship and service, from our youngest members to our oldest.

Pastor Anita graduated from Queen’s university with a Concurrent Education Degree and from Knox College at the University of Toronto with her Master of Divinity. She serves on the Justice Advisory Board of the National Church and the Evangelism and Mission Committee of The Niagara Presbytery.

Anita enjoys exploring The Niagara Region with her husband and children. She feels blessed to be part of a dedicated staff and hospitable, friendly congregation here at Stamford Presbyterian.

Please feel free to contact Pastor Anita at the church at (905) 356-2750.
