Reverend Elizabeth Guillaume-Koene

Intentional Interim Minister

Rev. Elizabeth Guillaume-Koene is trained as an Intentional Interim Minister and Spiritual Director in the Reformed tradition. Born and raised in Edmonton, Alberta, Elizabeth worked as a Social Worker before starting seminary. She has called Ontario home since 2003. Elizabeth was ordained in 2011, worked for ten years as a Chaplain in Long Term Care and in 2022 became an Interim Minister in Whitby, Ontario. Chalmers is her second Interim pastoral charge.

Elizabeth is passionate about journeying alongside people and communities through life’s challenges. On her own she does not have the power to bring healing, redemption or reconciliation, but knows the One who does, and she delights in showing people the healing grace available through Jesus Christ.

Although Elizabeth’s permanent home is in Bowmanville with her husband, three teen-age boys and a small menagerie of critters, she spends a part of each week in Kingston ministering at Chalmers. Elizabeth enjoys her spare time gardening, playing board games, crocheting and at their cabin up north.
