Clergy
The Rev'd Canon Christopher King
My name is Chris King and I am so glad that you have chosen to spend some time with us at Little Trinity's web pages. Since my arrival here in the spring of 1997 I have discovered and enjoyed more and more of the love and power and truth of Jesus Christ in our church, in the lives of our people.
Here's a little information about me to get you started. I was born in Bath, England in 1956, discovered that Jesus was alive and real and interested in me at age 12 that was when I said "yes" to Jesus and began my new life. The ensuing years have been spent with Christ who has had to work hard to keep me faithful and open to all that he has to give me and challenge me with.
I married Cathy in 1983 and we have two children, David (b. 1985) and Clare (b. 1988). My family are God's wonderful, fascinating gifts to me and nothing else has brought me so much joy (and frustration), and so much self knowledge - before marriage and family I used to be sure that I was a nice person!
I studied human physiology and then education at the University of London (England); taught high school science for six years in London; read theology and pastoral studies at St. John's College, Nottingham; served a curacy at an inner city London parish; moved to Geraldton, north western Ontario in 1992, where I served a diverse six community parish for almost five years before landing here. I enjoy getting to know people, reading and engaging in family activities including watching and playing sports, movies, music, and gardening.
And now? I hope we can be partners in helping each other discover more about God, more about God's relevance to our daily lives, and more about the gifts of hope and joy God entrusts to us to share with people who at present think of God as a stranger. I am still learning, still growing and we know that Little Trinity also is still learning and growing into what God wants us to become. I hope you will want to be a part of that.
Please feel free to find your own way around these pages, feel free to ask for help when you need it and also feel free to offer your advice, suggestions and contributions to our life together. Welcome!
The Rev'd Christine Watt, Associate Pastor
I’m so glad you are having a look around our web-site. There is a lot here which will help you to know who we are as a worshipping community of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. I am Christine Watt, and am the Associate Pastor here. I studied at Wycliffe College, an Anglican seminary here in Toronto, and part of the University of Toronto, and was ordained to the priesthood in March 2009. It has been my privilege to serve here, helping people to grow in the grace and knowledge of Jesus, as I myself continue to grow in our Lord too.
I was born and raised in the area of Oshawa, Ontario, but have lived in Toronto most of my adult life. I did not discover the blessing, freedom and transforming power of knowing Jesus until much later in my life. I’ve been married, but grieved the passing of Dan in 1996. While I worked as a Commercial Property Manager for close to twenty-five years, taking care of several office towers in the Financial district, I was always a seeker for meaning in life, always sensing that there was much more than just that which I could see and feel and touch. After a long time of seeking, I came to the end of myself and finally heard Jesus’ knock on the door of my heart and turned to answer Him and let Him in. Since then, my life has been one of great and exciting changes and challenges, always learning what it means to have the power of God Himself dwelling in me. My heart and God-given passion is that everyone would come to know the wonder of the transforming power of Jesus Christ. To know that God has created us to be in a relationship with Him, and to understand and be changed by His very Spirit working from the inside out – changing not only each person, one at a time, but subsequently the whole world. To know that the heart of the problems of the world is the problem of the human heart and that the answer to that problem is reconnection with our creator and redeemer. I pray that all will come to know that God so loved the world, that He gave His one and only Son, that all who believe in Him will not perish, but have eternal life. Eternal life is not just about going to heaven when we die, but in having true and good life now and having it to the full.
I also pray that as you read this, the Lord will touch your heart with Himself and help you to know how welcome you are at Little Trinity.
