Lorna is originally from Nelspruit, South Africa. In 2017, she moved to Vancouver to attend Regent College and has lived at The Burrow (a community house that is very much a part of the fabric of UC and St Thomas Mission), since it started in 2018. Lorna loves Vancouver: its parks, forests, ocean, coffee, and thrift stores, and her Vancouver community, between The Burrow, UC, STM, and Regent. She is passionate about community, hospitality, and is excited about the opportunity of fostering new and exisiting relationships.
Before working as Ministry Coordinator, Lorna attended St Thomas Mission (evening service) for three years, participating in various capacities. In this role she wears many different hats that enable her to facilitate the various ministries that run out of the church. She also is involved with managing the church building and administration — it wouldn't be unusual to see her with a hammer in hand or posting news on the church website. In a small church you have to serve where you are needed.
