Congregational Health Associate

Rev. Kathryn Smith

Kathy’s earnest desire is to see the church of Jesus Christ reach its full kingdom potential by empowering its structural, spiritual and human resources and identifying and navigating through common obstacles to its strength and growth.

She has viewed congregational life from many perspectives both lay and pastoral. Her understanding of the church’s complexities with her desire to encourage congregations in ministries of reconciliation, healing and hope give Kathy a strong foundation for assisting congregational life, health and growth. Queensway, Springford and Dundas Baptist churches, Hamilton Health Sciences Corporation and Associates Resourcing the Church (ARC) have and continue to shape Kathy’s pastoral leadership development.

Kathy is a CBOQ ordained pastor. She holds a Master of Divinity degree from McMaster Divinity College and a Certificate in Conflict Management and Leadership in Congregations from Conrad Grebel’s Peace and Conflict Institute, University of Waterloo.

Kathy and her husband Brian delight in their daughters Rachel and Hilary. Her leisure time is spent with them and their families and being active walking, swimming and cycling.
