About Our Pastor

Pastor Vicki Cok and her family came to Waterloo Christian Reformed Church in August of 2005. Previous to this move to Canada, they lived in Grand Rapids, Michigan, where she served on the staff of Church of the Servant CRC.

Vicki is a graduate of Calvin College (1982) and Calvin Seminary (2002). Before entering seminary she taught junior high music and English in Visalia, California, married Dennis and moved with him to California's Silicon Valley, worked as a creative services specialist for a software company, and then started a family and began volunteering for anything she could at the Palo Alto CRC. She began her seminary studies at Fuller Seminary North in 1994 and moved to Grand Rapids in 1999 in order to finish at Calvin.

An avid reader, accomplished musician, passionate scrapbooker, and increasingly competitive Scrabble player, Vicki is married to Dennis Cok, a computer software engineer who is passionate about hiking, running, reading, and being a dad. The Coks have three children: Laura, Adam, and Braden.

Says Vicki, "Waterloo CRC has been my church home since the summer of 2005. I am confident that you will receive a genuine welcome here. I have found WCRC to be a caring community that genuinely shares joy and sorrow, doubt and faith. It's a place where it's safe to ask honest questions and to wrestle with deep answers. I warmly invite you to visit us."
