Becky Jones

I work with two ministries of the CRC - Disability Concerns (2/3) and Safe Church (1/3). Prior to this role, I worked as a volunteer coordinator at a local art gallery in Burlington, Ontario, Canada. As a volunteer coordinator, I loved watching people give of their time in order to make our city a more community oriented space. Prior my work at the art gallery, I worked as an art therapist. In that role, I was able to walk alongside individuals living with autism, intellectual disabilities, dementia, brain injuries and many other physical and mental health challenges that impacted their life. I loved watching individuals connect with art and use it as a new form of communication and connection. I truly appreciated being able to advocate for them. I enjoy connecting with people, but I also appreciate the value of leaning into hard conversations and situations and finding a way through. I am thankful to be able to serve in both Safe Church and Disability Concerns.

We believe that many marginalized voices are speaking but not being heard, both in our churches and beyond, and we're passionate about changing that reality. We believe that when the Gospel is seriously lived, it is liberating for all people, and we look forward to the day that a kaleidoscope of people with diverse lives and experiences will worship God together as the unified Body of Christ. We are...the Canadian Aboriginal Ministry Committee, Centre for Public Dialogue, Disability Concerns, Friendship Ministries, Home Missions, Office of Social Justice, Race Relations, Safe Church, World Renew, and World Missions.
