The Light of Christ Church began in 2004 under the leadership of the Anglican Coalition in Canada, meeting in homes for worship and fellowship with emphasis on orthodox biblical faith. In early 2006, our first Rector was called, The Rev. Kathy J. King. The church feels called to provide a strong, biblical witness of love and service to the city of Nanaimo. Visitors are warmly welcomed into a Spirit filled, family oriented community of worship and faith.
Kathy has been serving as Rector of The Light of Christ Church since 2006. Born and raised in Illinois, she became a believer in Jesus while attending college in Colorado. After working in 'Youth for Christ' following college, she felt a call to ordained ministry, receiving her MDiv from Trinity Episcopal School for Ministry and a M.A. in counselling from Denver Seminary. Ordained in 1991, she has served three other churches before coming to the Light of Christ Church, including extensive experience in youth ministry. Her greatest passions include teaching and seeing people's lives transformed through worship, prayer and service.
Vision for the Light of Christ Church:
'To shine as a beacon of hope, faithfully radiating the transforming power of
Jesus Christ's love to all people, inviting them into safe harbour.'
Mission Statement:
'The Light of Christ Church exists to be faithful disciples of Jesus Christ, building God's Kingdom
by faithfully worshiping the Lord through Scripture, Sacrament, and Spirit; witnessing to others in
the power of God's love; welcoming all into authentic, life-giving community; working to serve others;
and walking in an ever deepening relationship with Jesus'.
