Stacey Van Dyk, Children’s & Families’ Leader
With my husband Tim. I arrived in Oxford in 2016 to begin an MPhil at the University of Oxford. Our daughter Eleanor entered the world in 2017. Having lived in Wolvercote since 2018, we have become increasingly invested in the local community, especially since we began attending St. Peter's Wolvercote (2019) and Eleanor started at Wolvercote Primary (2021). Prior to re-entering the academic world, I spent more than a decade pioneering and rebuilding Christian ministries for youth and young adults in Canada (my home country), Eurasia, and South America. I have also participated in three church plants in Canada. My hope is to offer insights and wisdom from these unique experiences to St Peter's Church during this time of dynamic growth in their Families' and Children's Ministries. I am very much looking forward to becoming better acquainted with children and their families in the village! Email: stpeterschurchfamilies@gmail.com.
