Hans Boersma (1961 – N/A) is a Dutch-Canadian preacher, priest, and theologian whose ministry blends scholarly preaching with a retrieval of sacramental theology, influencing evangelical and Anglican communities for over three decades. Born in the Netherlands to a Reformed Christian family—his father a pastor—he grew up immersed in Protestant faith, moving to Canada in 1983. He earned a B.Ed. from Christelijke Academie, a B.A. from the University of Lethbridge, an M.Div. from the Theological College of the Canadian Reformed Churches, and an M.Th. and Th.D. from Utrecht University in 1993, transitioning from a Reformed background to Anglican priesthood in the Anglican Church in North America. Boersma’s preaching career began as a Reformed pastor in British Columbia (1994–1998), followed by academic roles at Trinity Western University (1999–2005) and as the J.I. Packer Professor of Theology at Regent College (2005–2019), where he delivered sermons rooted in patristic and sacramental insights. Since 2019, he has served as the Saint Benedict Servants of Christ Chair in Ascetical Theology at Nashotah House Theological Seminary in Wisconsin, preaching at St. Matthew’s Anglican Church in Abbotsford, BC, and beyond. Author of works like Heavenly Participation (2011), Sacramental Preaching (2016), and Pierced by Love (2023), his messages emphasize spiritual interpretation of Scripture and God’s presence in creation. Married to Linda, with whom he has five children, he continues to minister from Langley, British Columbia.
