Ministry Team

Rev. Dr. Simon LeSieur joined our ministry team in March, 2010. He grew up in Quebec City, completed his undergraduate degree at Redeemer University in Ontario and then moved to Stellenbosch, South Africa, where he did his Master of Divinity. He most recently completed a Doctorate on the Holy Spirit through Fuller Seminary in Pasadena, CA. 

Simon strives to help people of all ages grow into faithful and responsible global citizens, equipping them to vibrantly navigate the complexities of today's world. Simplicity, prayer, and community form the groundwork of his own pursuit of Christ.

He lives here in West Vancouver with his wife Meghan and their two young children.

Dal grew up in Vancouver attending Knox United Church in Kerrisdale, after being introduced to the Sunday School by his neighbour. He attended UBC earnings degree in Mathematics before attending Union College on the Campus, a forerunner to the Vancouver School of Theology.

He met his wife Helen at church through her family who had moved to Kerrisdale from Regina.

After Ordination, he was transferred by the United Church to Manitoba to a pastoral charge of 5 churches. Since, he has served congregations in Northern B.C. and around the Greater Vancouver area, finishing in Maple Ridge from where he retired. After retirement he was called back into service at West Vancouver United Church when a vacancy occurred and continues assisting whenever needed. In addition he also serves as Chaplain to the Royal Canadian Legion in West Vancouver.

While in the North he was adopted by the First Nations Community of Lax Kw’alaams and is proud to be a member of the “wolf” clan of that community.

Having been introduced to the United Church by a friend, he sees the importance of individual evangelism (gently speaking of one’s faith with those one knows).

He and Helen live in Horseshoe Bay, have two married children and three grandchildren.

I worked with Vancouver Coastal Health in Home and Community Care in various capacities including Home Care Nursing, Long Term Care Case Management, Education, Intake and most recently was the Team Lead for the Geriatric Outreach Program. My main focus has been with frail seniors in the community ensuring they remain as safe and independent as possible. I also feel passionate about supporting caregivers and families to ensure they are receiving what they need to help reduce their stress during difficult times.

I have a wonderful family which is my main focus and enjoy spending as much time as possible with them as I can, especially with my grandchildren.

Most weekends in winter you will find me on the slopes of Whistler and in summer boating in Howe Sound. Jogging, golf and needle arts are hobbies I enjoy in my spare time.
