SKILLS
ABOUT LAURA ENNS
I have served communities in Waterloo Region and around the world through creative leadership and engagement at the intersection of faith, community arts, culture, and activism. As Mission, Peace and Justice Coordinator at Stirling Avenue Mennonite Church in Kitchener, Ontario, I bring together local and global approaches to peacebuilding to support and develop initiatives that engage the diverse gifts of Stirling members, and empower collective action toward a regenerative future. In my role, I nurture long-term relationships with Stirling\'s community partners and seek opportunities to weave new connections. Current areas of focus include: Indigenous-settler relations, land stewardship, and climate action. In the wider community, I nurture peace and spirituality through artistic expression with people of all ages through supporting the Grebel Gallery, Inshallah singing community, and Peacemakers Camp. Previously, I have been on staff at Waterloo-Kitchener United Mennonite Church, Ontario Mennonite Music Camp, and The Working Center. I have also volunteered with many non-profits, intentional communities, and projects, including Pastors in Exile, Sing Fires of Justice, Taizé UW, the Community Music School of Waterloo Region, the Iona Community (Scotland), Corrymeela (Northern Ireland), and the Centre for Black Peruvian Women’s Development/World University Service of Canada (Peru). In addition, my family and I serve as live-in hosts of Brubacher House at the University of Waterloo. As museum host, I enjoy taking care of the beautiful 1850s fieldstone farmhouse and traditional garden, and interpreting Mennonite history and culture through museum tours, community events, artist residencies, and Home Routes folk concerts. I hold a Master of Arts in Community Music from the Irish World Academy of Music and Dance at the University of Limerick, and a Bachelor of Environmental Studies in Honours International Development from the University of Waterloo.
