I was born and raised in North York, Ontario. I am the son of Vern and Kathy Kay, and the brother of Glenn. My wife, Monica, and I live in North York with our two daughters, Chloe and Neve. I graduated from OBC (now Tyndale College) in 1997 with a Bachelor of Religious Education degree. In 2009, I earned my Masters of Divinity at Tyndale Seminary.

I was born in Seoul, South Korea, and moved to Toronto in 1987. I have lived most of my life in Toronto and consider it my home. My wife, Jin, and I have three children: Taylor, Toby, and Olive. I graduated from Wycliffe College with my Masters of Divinity in 2008 and received my Doctor of Ministry from Acadia Divinity College in 2022. I love the outdoors, playing sports, and spending time with family. I am passionate about serving God and seeing people live out their identity as the beloved child of God.

 

Rev. Abby Davidson is on maternity leave till 2024. Please reach out to Emily for any questions.

I was born and raised in Zimbabwe but after graduating from High School, I moved to Canada as a post-secondary student. Although I still consider Zimbabwe my home, Canada has in many ways become a home as well. I currently live in Mississauga with my husband, Ben and am in the process of completing a Master of Theological Studies at Tyndale University. I love to write, enjoy spending time outside, particularly when it is warm and sunny, and always welcome a meaningful conversation over a cup of tea.
