Featuring Rob and Charlotte Wilms

Charlotte and Rob have been married for 18 years. They are parents of 4 wonderful kids – Elizabeth, Clara, Nathan, and Evelyn – and a dog, can’t forget the dog. They live in Saskatoon where Rob pastors at Avalon Alliance Church and Charlotte works at Mission Thrift. They love being a family and traversing life in Christ together in the place the Lord has planted them. They are the first to say they are still figuring out marriage, and figure that will continue to the very end, but they’re fully in for that life-long journey together!

Marriage and Life in Christ

            Rob and Charlotte’s passion is to understand all of life as that which is “hidden with Christ in God.” (Colossians 3:3) This of course includes marriage, as one of the central ways through which Jesus forms His life in us who are married. Rooted in Scripture, this time together will allow us to engage in this view of marriage and to a new dependence on Christ as we seek to honor Him with our lives and with our relationships.
