Fr Geoff came to Canada in 2002. Born and raised in South Africa he completed two degrees in psychology before beginning a career in human resources management. He left this career, studied a Master of Divinity degree (M.Div) at Regent College in Vancouver and began his pastoral ministry. He planted St. Thomas Mission in 2013. He is currently pursuing doctoral studies at Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia.
Fr Geoff’s journey of faith began at the age of 13, encountering Jesus while on a church retreat in 1977. Through many years of highs and lows in his walk with God, he has learned to rely on the power and love of the Holy Spirit and to trust that God’s way is always best, no matter how rocky the road. He has learned to appreciate the wisdom and grace of God as revealed in His Holy Word, and that He can be trusted in all things.
