ANDREW AUKEMA | Pastor

I began at Inglewood CRC in August 2021 after previously serving as a Pastor in Prince George, BC for nine years. I love the vision of Inglewood CRC and its emphasis on discipleship and being a tangible presence of Christ in the Inglewood neighborhood.  I grew up in Chatham, Ontario, and have studied at the University of Windsor (BA) and Regent College (MDiv). I am married to Miriam, and we live relatively close to the church with our four children.  We love going to parks with the family, bike rides, a good cup of coffee, the church, and getting to know people over a meal.  We are convicted yet compelled by the way of Jesus because of the gift of amazing grace, and the call to a beautiful life of compassion, hospitality, and counter-cultural discipleship.

ANDREW WHITESIDE | Worship Service Coordinator

I was born in Richmond B.C. and grew up attending Richmond Presbyterian Church. I began playing on worship teams when I was thirteen years old and enjoy praising God through the ministry of music. I completed a Bachelor of Arts in Music from Trinity Western University in Langley B.C. and graduated in 2022. I participated in various choirs, orchestra, concert bands, and the University’s Sunday Night Alive worship ministry. In 2021 I moved to Edmonton to pursue a Masters in Music in Choral Conducting which I completed in April 2023. Currently I sing with ProCoro Canada, Edmonton’s Professional Choir and conduct the University of Alberta Opera Theatre program. I began working at Inglewood CRC as the Worship Service Coordinator in September of 2023.

KAREN ANSINK | Church Administrator

As a long term member of Inglewood CRC, it is my pleasure to work as the Church Administrator. When I began this position in May 2022, I had no idea what I was stepping into. This job has allowed me to get to know the members of ICRC in a deeper way, and it’s shown me how many good things are happening here behind the scenes. I graduated from Calvin University with a Bachelor of Social Work and in my various positions since then have always loved the people aspect of every job and that continues here at Inglewood.
