Gareth Brandt

Before coming to Columbia in 2000, Gareth Brandt was involved in congregational and denominational ministry for 14 years in 4 provinces. He considers it a sacred privilege to attend the spiritual formation of young adults as they seek to know themselves in the context of the Christian story. He has written two books: Under Construction: Reframing Men’s Spirituality and Spirituality With Clothes On: Examining What Makes Us Who We Are. Gareth enjoys cycling, poetry, gardening, painting old buildings with water colours, and blogging at www.garethbrandt.wordpress.com. Gareth is married to Cynthia and they have four adult children and one grandchild. They are part of Emmanuel Mennonite Church in Abbotsford.
