Welcome, Kerry Dyck, Menno Hospital Chaplain

Menno Place is pleased to welcome Kerry Dyck as our new chaplain for Menno Hospital.

For most of Kerry Dyck’s working life as a pastor in the local church, he has been helping people answer the question, “What does it mean to follow Jesus right now?” As he concludes his ministry as lead pastor of Bakerview Church in Abbotsford and transitions to the role of Menno Place chaplain, he is asking the same question of himself. For Kerry, it means coming to minister with Jesus’ compassion to our residents, families and staff.

Menno Place is excited to welcome Kerry Dyck to the chaplaincy team. Kerry’s compassionate shepherding will be a welcome presence for residents in long-term care, for families negotiating transitions for loved ones and for our staff who have faced tremendous stress through these past few years. The hope, comfort and peace that come through God’s word, the presence of the Holy Spirit and the leadership of a chaplain create a very special place for people who live, support loved ones and work at Menno Place. We are grateful that Kerry has answered the call to bring his gifts, skills, experience and heart to minister God’s light and hope to this very special and complex community.

Kerry shares:

It is with joy and a deep sense of gratitude that I look forward to joining the Menno Place team. Menno Place has a reputation for providing excellent care in a loving atmosphere for seniors in the important twilight years of life. To be able to serve and get to know those who have given so much over their lifetimes is an honour and privilege. I’m excited to be part of this good work. I hope and pray that my contribution will help residents and their families live with hope and dignity.

Kerry’s full-time work as a chaplain at Menno Place will begin in July 2023. Here is the announcement of Kerry’s new role from his church – CLICK HERE
