Brenda Kronemeijer-Heyink, Chaplain
Biking, books, biblical prophecy, and being present with others are the passions that Brenda brings with her into the ministry. She coordinates and helps lead much of the programming of the ministry. Brenda is an ordained minister in the Christian Reformed Church and is in the process of finishing up her PhD on the confusing linguistic nature of the book of Ezekiel. Much of her understanding of being present with others was shaped by her time living in an intentional community in Amsterdam. She is thankful to be providing pastoral support and encouragement to all those connected to the campus ministry. Brenda enjoys deep conversations on the Bible or living counterculturally, as well as spending time with her husband and daughter. If you’d like to connect with Brenda, you are welcome to set up an appointment via her booking page or email her directly at brenda.hey@gmail.com.
