With a background in education, international development, and professional coaching, Tim Conklin brings a wealth of experience and a welcoming spirit to St. Paul’s Anglican Church.Originally from southeastern Minnesota, Tim earned a BA from the University of Minnesota and a master’s degree in Comparative Education and International Public Health and Development in Washington, DC. After serving as a US Peace Corps volunteer and technical trainer in Nepal, Tim immigrated to Canada with his spouse in 1998 and made Vancouver home.

Over the years, Tim worked in academic advising at the University of British Columbia and in administration and student services at Vancouver Community College. In 2014, Tim became a Certified Professional Coach through Royal Roads University.
Today, Tim facilitates an ESL conversation class at St. Paul’s, welcoming newcomers to Canada and helping build connections through conversation and community. As a church trustee, Tim is also committed to contributing thoughtfully and faithfully to the life of the congregation.
Outside the church, Tim enjoys motorcycle camping throughout British Columbia, paddling outrigger canoe in False Creek and English Bay, and participating in races with Team Kupuna and False Creek Racing Canoe Club.
Believing that family includes not only those we are born into and choose, but also the communities we find along life’s journey, Tim values the friendships and sense of belonging found at St. Paul’s. Guided by compassion and empathy, Tim hopes to bring encouragement, connection, and joy to others.
