Ministry Team
Rev. Wanda Burse was born and raised on a farm between Cedar Springs and Charing Cross. She is married to Don and they have two sons – Darby & Aimee and Colin & Laurie, and four grandchildren – Emma, Jackson, Emily, and Benjamin.
She graduated from Windsor Teachers’ College and received her B.A. from the University of Windsor. Upon retiring from teaching after thirty years, she attended Emmanuel College in Toronto and graduated in 2008 with her Master of Divinity.
During her training to be a minister, she spent eight months in Saskatoon where she served at Mount Royal Emmanuel United Church and Oliver Lodge, a Long Term Care home owned by the United Church.
She was in her seventh year of ministry when she joined Rural United Pastoral Charge in May 2015. She also serves as Chaplain at Blenheim Community Village.
In her spare time she likes to read, write, make cards, scrapbook, and spend time keeping up with the grandchildren. She has published one book, “On Hallowed Ground,” is waiting to have the copies of number 2 delivered, and is working on number three.
