Our Incumbent, the Rev. Steve Timpson, has recently moved to Bath, with his wife Marilou, and their four children. They share their home, with a fat tailed gecko named Stripey, and a dog named Oreo.
Steve has been the Deacon in charge of the Parish of Kingston North, and left being the Incumbent of the Parish of the Rideau, and the Regional Dean of Leads and Grenville to come to our church. As well as being the incumbent of St. John’s, Steve has a number of other diocesan responsibilities. He is the Chair of the Communications and Information Technology Committee, and the coordinator of the Fresh Start Program. He is also one of our delegates to the General Synod of the Anglican Church of Canada.
The Timpson's have lived and worked in a number of different spots before coming to the Diocese of Ontario. Steve graduated from Queens Engineering, in April 1984 and had a varied career in engineering before leaving it to train for the ministry. Beginning at the Alcan Research Center in Kingston, he moved through a variety of positions in both technical and management roles and has worked in Kingston, Toronto, Gananoque, Kitimat BC, Whitefish Montana, and Sundsveld Sweden.
After Jesus, photography, and cycling are a couple of Steve's passions, although he sometimes has trouble finding the time to either ride his bike or take pictures. When he can find time, Steve can be found riding his Specialized Roubaix Pro along the back roads early in the morning or at supper time. You can check out a few of Steve's photo's here.
In the summer of 2002, Steve spent a month living and working with the people of the Anglican Church of Kenya, near Thika outside of Nairobi, and found that as North American's we have much to learn from the African Church.
Through all his travel's, Steve has been constantly amazed at the way God is there in power where ever we are and how he reaches out to us all. Whether we are worshiping God in a traditional church, admiring his majesty in the mountains and lakes, or caring for our children, we were made to be God's children, and are only complete when we recognize and respond to this.
