Mona Scrivens has joyfully served as the lead minister at Amberlea Presbyterian Church since October 2012.

 

Mona has a passion for the Family, of every configuration.  She believes strongly that the role of the Church is to be a support and resource so that families and individual members are nurtured, strengthened, and empowered to honor God in their homes and in the whole of their lives.  Mona believes passionately that it is through families that the church extends its reach in nurturing faithful disciples of Jesus Christ.   Mona’s passion for the family began long before entering into ordained ministry. Being first generation Canadian, first generation Christian, born and raised into an Indian Sikh home, Mona brings a unique perspective of the role and importance of family to the Presbyterian Church.  She is a regular speaker on interfaith matters and is the author of Jesus:  According to Sikhism.

 

Her passion for the family is also identified in much of her work both past and present.  For fourteen years Mona owned and operated a company called Expectations and was contracted by several hospitals to provide pre and postnatal education.  She has been seen on Cityline, The Women’s Network, CTV morning shows and a variety of other broadcasts, communicating her knowledge and passion for the family.  Her video Ready for Delivery was also produced at that time.

 

Mona is currently working on her doctorate at the University of Toronto, specializing in the area of family ministry, specifically in pregnancy and spirituality.

 

Mona lives in Scarborough with her husband, Brian and her two amazing children, Emily and Tyler.
