Our Clergy and Staff

Father Travis holds a Ph.D. in philosophy from the University of Leuven, Belgium, where he wrote his dissertation on the work of Søren Kierkegaard. A father of four and avid fly-fisher, he was ordained in 2004 and has been Rector of St Barnabas since 2007. He has also recently held the position of Director of Anglican Studies at the Vancouver School of Theology.

Travis is the author of A Word Shared Between Us: Praying in a Time of Exile (Wipf and Stock 2022).

Saint Barnabas is blessed with seven honorary assistant priests who support the rector by assisting with and celebrating Sunday and weekday Masses, hearing confessions, and offering pastoral support. Our honorary assistants are the Rev'd Canon Dr Martin Brokenleg, the Rev'd Walter Donald, the Rev'd Elaina Hyde-Mill, the Rev'd Canon Peter Shurvin, the Rev'd John Hannen, the Rev'd Canon Philip Wadham, and the Rev'd Jim McCorriston.

Jasmin grew up in Germany. She studied at the Albert-Ludwig University, Freiburg. There she completed her Master’s Degree in Philosophy and German Literature. She met Travis while studying in London, England, and they have four children together. Jasmin has been the Community Life minister at St Barnabas since 2015.  She loves especially the opportunity to create special spaces that bring people of all ages and backgrounds together.

As Parish Administrator, Andrea plays a vital role in the daily life of our church community. From coordinating schedules and managing communications to supporting clergy and parishioners alike, she ensures that everything behind the scenes runs smoothly. With a heart for service and a gift for organization, Andrea helps create a welcoming and well-ordered environment where ministry can thrive.

The wardens at our church serve as dedicated leaders who help support the spiritual and practical life of our congregation. Working closely with the clergy and parish members, they provide guidance, ensure the smooth running of services and events, and help care for the church's property and mission. Their commitment, faith, and service are a vital part of our church community.

The treasurer plays a key role in the life of our church, overseeing the financial health and stewardship of our resources. With care and integrity, they manage budgets, track expenses, and ensure transparency in all financial matters. Their faithful service supports the mission and ministry of our church in practical and meaningful ways.

The envelope secretary faithfully manages the recording of weekly offerings and donations, ensuring accuracy, confidentiality, and timely reporting. Their behind-the-scenes work helps uphold good stewardship practices and supports the financial integrity of our church community.

If you’d like to request offering envelopes or have questions about your giving records, please contact the envelope secretary through the church office: admin@stbarnabaschurch.ca.
