We are thankful for the time Pastors Neil & Virginia Lettinga spent with us, and pray God's richest blessings on them in their retirement!

Neil was born in Edmonton and Virginia grew up in Grand Rapids, Michigan where her father taught at Calvin College. Both the Lettingas taught as university faculty themselves for 20+ years and continue to teach occasional university and seminary classes. They moved to British Columbia in 2003 to share an exciting new opportunity as joint Campus Ministers for the Christian Reformed Church at the University of Northern BC in Prince George. They continue to stay connected to campus ministries in Canada, the U.S. and Kenya.

Since 2011 they have been working with Canadian churches and ministries that are negotiating major transitions. It is hard to imagine any church or ministry that does not currently feel that it is in the midst of transitions as demographics change and cultural norms shift! The Lettingas love to help Christians wrestle with how to witness to the stable love of God in the midst of an unstable and often adjustable world.

The Lettingas began pastoring VCRC as Specialized Transitional Ministers beginning February 2021 and ended their formal work with us in January 2023. In June 2023, God willing, Pastor Bert Slofstra will pastor VCRC on a part-time, interim basis. We look forward to welcoming Pastor Bert & Diane!
