Willemina Zwart

Vision and Mission

25 years ago this summer, Willemina worked as a staff mentor at the Ocean City Beach Project. Little did she know at that time that God would ignite a dream for a beach project on the south coast of Ontario!

She is an ordained pastor in the Christian Reformed Church and has been called by Immanuel CRC, Simcoe as the missional pastor of the SCBP. Her ministry experience includes six years campus ministry with the Coalition for Christian Outreach and almost 17 years CRC congregational ministry. She moved in October to Port Dover along with her recently retired husband, Kelly Sibthorpe, who previously worked in CRC campus ministry and grew up in Norfolk County.

Mission Work

Imagine being part of a milestone experience in the life of a young adult. Picture 20 – 25 young adults, living in an intentional Christian community while working at summer jobs. See them being mentored by various Christian role models who engage questions around the biblical story, a Reformed worldview, sexuality, creation care, theology of place, vocational discernment…to name several. Envision these young adults participating in the worship and life of Immanuel Christian Reformed Church in Simcoe. Watch these young adults as they learn how their story shaped by God’s story can impact the world’s story.
