Meet The Team

Nancy joined the Trinity family nine years ago, after several invitations from her sister Lori MacDougall and her friend Rodney Perkins suggested she check it out. Asked to write a story for a local magazine about a youth group that was doing good things in the community, Nancy had heard about the GreenTeam at Trinity so decided to write about them. That experience had her feeling welcome and she kept returning and accepted Lori and Rodney’s invitation to come to church.

A Social Services Worker (SSW), Nancy has volunteered as a member of the Communications Team and often writes for the Trinity Newsletter. She has also volunteered with Wonder Café, the monthly Hospitality Meal and is one of the key organizers of Argyle Art-in-the-Park. In September 2016, Nancy joined the staff at Trinity as Executive Assistant. Part of Nancy’s job is community outreach which is her passion. She is chair of the Special Events Team, a member of the Newsletter Team and Women’s Circle.

Outside of Trinity Nancy is a published freelance writer having written for several local and national magazines and newspapers and is a co-author of 6 books. She is very active within the Argyle community. Nancy is a recipient of the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Award and more recently a Canada 150 Award for her work in the community. She is married, has 3 adult children and 6 grandchildren.

Dave was born and raised to a large family in rural southern Ontario. He has lived in Woodstock and Toronto where he attended Centennial College and obtained a Social Services Workers diploma then worked in various not-for-profits in Toronto for a few years. Currently, he makes London his home and divides his time working at the Old East Village Grocer and Trinity. Dave finds both positions in the not-for-profit sector very rewarding.

Coming across Trinity one evening while out for a walk, Dave found it just “felt” right, and started to attend the Sunday services and was soon volunteering at various events including the hospitality meal. When the opening came up for part-time help in the office he applied and was successful.

Dave has enjoyed meeting the members of the congregation and getting to know them better. It has also been a huge learning experience for him to learn what goes on at the back of the church getting the Sunday service together and keeping the doors open. Dave feels that we are blessed at Trinity to have more than a faith community. As he says, “we have a community of caring and love which we share freely with those we meet along our individual life journeys.”

Eric is a self-described church-going atheist, who came to Trinity after an unexpected spiritual experience and chance encounter with Rev Paul.

At Trinity, you’ll see Eric singing, playing music, operating tech equipment, and springing about solving problems
