Welcome to fellowship
Our Mission
We are a fellowship created and being shaped by the Holy Spirit
that overflows with the grace of our Lord Jesus
and shares the love of God with Prince Rupert, our region and our world
We saw God’s love perfectly when Jesus died for us and rose again, and his love saves us when we believe in Jesus. By his Holy Spirit we now belong to him and to each other. As we partner with him in carrying out his mission to share the good news of his love with others, we do everything in a spirit of overflow—freely receiving and freely giving.
As we carry out this mission, we will abide by these core values:
Making meaningful CONNECTIONS
Generously CARING for each other
Coming together for memorable CELEBRATIONS
as we do life together.

Sonika Janse van Rensbulrg, Preschool Director
Sonika, who has been working at our preschool since 2022, is from South Africa where she began to pursue her passion for the culinary field in 2014 but quickly realized her love for working with children while working as an Au Pair and then entering an Early Childhood Education program in 2018 with Wikelwurmpies Kleuterskool in South Africa. Her love for children also brought her to Prince Rupert Fellowship Baptist Preschool where she was hired as a preschool Manager/Senior Teacher and we are happy to say is now our Preschool Director. She enjoys the outdoors, hiking and camping with her husband and taking her dog “Toffee”, a rescue dog from the SPCA, for walks.
