Rev. Rob Smith
Rob came to us from Prince George, BC where he was the minister at Knox United Church for seven and a half years. While serving the people at Knox, Rob was involved as a chaplain at the University of Northern British Columbia and as a member of the Ethics Committee of the University Hospital of Northern British Columbia. He also served as secretary of the Prince George Ministerial Association. He is the past chair of Cariboo Presbytery and a member of the BC Conference Executive. He has helped create a lay training program for Cariboo Presbytery. In his spare time Rob likes to hike, mountain bike, read murder mysteries and do yoga. He also learned to square dance in Prince George.
Since 1985 Rob has served the church in many diverse locations from Yorkdale in the heart of Toronto, to Madera in the San Joaquin Valley in California, to the First Nations village of Bella Coola on the central coast of British Columbia. He has also been a social worker and a retail sales manager.
Rob shares his life with two cats; Rusty and Yoda. His mom lives at Glacier Ridge and his brother lives in Tobermory.
Rob is passionate about finding ways to keep the story of our faith alive for the next generations and making a positive difference in our world.
