Anthony Vander Laan

Pastor

Anthony is the pastor of Destination Church. He is married to his wife of two-and-a-half years, Jennie. They have been involved in various church, urban, and prison ministries for the last seven years. Anthony graduated from Calvin Theological Seminary in Grand Rapids, Michigan, with a Master of Divinity degree. He loves exploring and writing compelling teachings about the eccentricities, nuances, hyper-connectivity, and unexplainable things found in the pages of the Bible. One of Anthony’s deepest desires is to see people liberated to wrestle with their most difficult questions about God and the Bible, and to see where that questioning leads. As such, Anthony periodically writes his own blog to explore some of his most vexing faith questions. While Anthony possesses a compelling vision and passion for the local church, he also enjoys putting his mind to rest by playing golf, going for long walks and drinking tea with Jennie, and cooking savoury dishes in the kitchen.
