Rev. Annika Sangster, graduate of the Centre for Christian Studies, grew up in Guysborough County, Nova Scotia. She left her beloved home for further education at Mount Allison University and graduated with her Bachelor of Arts in 2002. By the end of 2003, she completed the Leadership Development Module at CCS and knew that diaconal ministry was her calling. She met her partner, Bobby Pace, in 2004 and they married in 2007. Annika has taken the term, "lifelong learning" to heart and spent the majority of her life in school. While at CCS, she discovered that she is a passionate feminist and an advocate for people with learning disabilities through her own journey of self-discovery. Annika continues to see God in the love and care people show each other and is looking forward to exploring transformational ministry. Throughout her ten years in undergraduate and post graduate studies, Annika has worked in a variety of fast food and retail outlets, as well as a number of summer camps and churches. Annika is a country girl at heart who enjoys spending time cycling, geocaching, knitting and cooking.
