The Reverend Trevor Lightfoot, Rector
The Rev. Trevor Lightfoot was born and raised in Kentville, NS. He is married to Jennifer and they have three boys. Rev. Trevor believes EVERY life has a story and he is passionate about meeting people where they are in their life’s journey. He strongly believes that God is already at work in the lives of all God’s Children and the communities in which they live. Therefore, he feels a primary part of God’s mission is for communities of Faith to search out and discover where it is that God is already at work and minister in those contexts. This often is not within the traditional church model and framework.
Rev Trevor is also enthusiastic about developing/offering creative and engaging worship, while still having a deep respect for the traditional liturgies of the Anglican Church.
Rev Trevor received a Diploma in Business Administration from NSCC, his Bachelor of Science, with a major in psychology, from Acadia University, a convocated Diploma in Health Services Administration from Dalhousie University, and his Masters of Divinity from Atlantic School of Theology. He was ordained a deacon in 1999 and priested in 2000. He has served in both Rural and Urban parishes. He joined the ministry of All Saints parish as Rector in 2013.
