Reverend Eileen Hepplewhite

In September 2000, Kanata United Church welcomed Rev. Eileen Hepplewhite to the ministry team. She is married to David. Eileen  and David have two daughters and son-in-laws; Anne & Chris, Lisa & Blake. Their two grandsons are a source of great joy.

Eileen lived the first 36 years of her life in Northern England where she taught in elementary school and later for the British Prison Service.

A call to ministry in the U.C.C. led to an Bachelor of Arts degree in Religion and Sociology from Carleton U. and a M. Div. From Queen's. Following ordination in 1990 she served the Pastoral Charges of Manotick and then Central Lanark. Her focus is on Christian Education and Congregational Development. Eileen serves at Presbytery on Staff Committee, does Pastoral Care at the Earl of March Secondary School and volunteers at the Queensway Carleton Hospital with their Peri-Natal Bereavement Response Team.

Time at home or away involves her German Shepherd, reading, oil painting, quiet evenings with friends and seeing local drama productions.

Eileen's call involves her in learning and facilitating others learning about our faith and ourselves in relationship with God.
