Gordon Carkner

Dr. Gordon E. Carkner, the Director of Graduate & Faculty Campus Ministries, along with his wife Ute love connecting with future global leaders within the graduate student university community. Through hospitality, biblical investigation, prayer and discussions of faith and academic studies, these students are drawn into kingdom concerns and introduced to God's powerful agape love. This is a transformational experience that builds community at the crux of high achievement passion, loneliness and stress. With a team of faculty, the ministry mines the wisdom of the ages, employing excellent Christian scholarship.

Gord is building bridges between church and university campus, believing we can serve each other in mutual enrichment and creative challenge. His paradigm is one of creative and healthy interface, resistsing the stereotypes that create unhelpful barriers. Gord has his B.Sc. in Human Physiology Queen’s; MDiv. Trinity Evangelical Divinity School; PhD in Philosophical Theology from the University of Wales/Oxford Center for Mission Studies on late modern Western culture. He is married to Ute, and has two adorable daughters Kierianne  and Hannah.
