The Project's Founder
​Willemina Zwart

​25 years ago, Willemina worked as a staff mentor at the Ocean City Beach Project.  Little did she know at that time that God would ignite a dream for a beach project on the south coast of Ontario!  She is an ordained pastor in the Christian Reformed Church and has been called by Immanuel CRC, Simcoe as the missional pastor of the SCBP.  Her ministry experience includes six years campus ministry with the Coalition for Christian Outreach and almost 17 years CRC congregational ministry.  She moved in October to Port Dover along with her recently retired husband, Kelly Sibthorpe, who previously worked in CRC campus ministry and grew up in Norfolk County.
