Rev. Sharon Clements

Our senior minister, Rev. Sharon Clements is an ordained Unity minister who was hired by the Kitchener Centre in 1999. Sharon is married to Greg Clements, a technical director at Rogers Sportsnet. Between them, they have five adult children, Kristine (Ron) Bray, Karen, Katherine (Darren) Spinney, Damion (Darcy) Ketchum and Dallas New.  Grandchildren include Ryan & Megan Bray; Luke, Logan & London Ketchum and Jacob Spinney. 

Born in Johnson City, New York, Sharon enjoyed a variety of careers (and addresses) before becoming a minister. In the 60’s, after graduating from Stephens College, Missouri, Sharon traveled the US and Canada as an advanced publicist for Disney on Parade, as well as working in Toronto as an assistant for Paul Simmons Artist Management and the CBC. She settled in California for 10 years where she worked for NBC and ABC as a production assistant. After some additional schooling at California State University at Los Angeles, Sharon began a new career in sales of uniforms and career wear. She worked at Commercial Uniform in Los Angeles and subsequently accepted a position at Action Line Uniforms in Dallas, Texas. In 1981, Sharon moved to Canada and worked as Vice President of Sales & Marketing for St. Hill Uniforms. When the company closed in 1993, Sharon went back to school at the University of Toronto and studied Psychology and Religion. At the same time, she began taking classes at Unity Institute at Unity Village, Missouri and officially entered Unity’s ministerial programme in 1997.

One of her passions is reflected in her Thesis paper for her Masters, “My Search for the Voice of Jesus” which explores the metaphysics of the Gospel of Thomas and compares the synoptic Gospels to this apocrypha writing. Her mission in life is to inspire and empower others by helping them discover the gift that they are.
