Timothy Connor - Discipleship Pastor

Timothy was born in Caledonia, Ontario, where he attended the local Anglican Church with his family. From a young age, his passion for music blossomed, leading him to pursue his musical interests at McMaster University, culminating in the attainment of his bachelor degree.

Timothy’s life took a transformative turn when he felt a profound calling to dedicate himself to ministry. After deep introspection and soul-searching, he embarked on this path by enrolling at Knox College, where he is currently on the journey toward ordination within the Presbyterian Church in Canada.

In 2023, Timothy found a spiritual home at St. Giles Kingsway while serving as a student Pastor under Tim Bruneau. Fueled by a love for people and an earnest desire to serve God, he has now embraced a role within the SGK community as a part-time Discipleship Pastor.
