Chaplain

Revd. Jacqueline Williams

Revd. Jacqueline Williams ("Jacque") joined St Mary's after returning to the Netherlands with her Dutch husband, Rob. Originally from South Africa, she has devoted her life to Christian ministry, serving in churches, theological education, youth ministry, and leadership roles in both South Africa and the Netherlands. She was ordained as a priest in the Anglican Church of Southern Africa and has served several congregations before joining St Mary's.


Jacque is passionate about building welcoming and inclusive Christian communities where people can grow in faith together. She has a particular heart for justice and pastoral care, and is delighted to serve the diverse international congregation of Anglican Church Twente. Outside church life, she enjoys wildlife photography and making homemade jams and preserves.
