Leader Bio:
Rev. Olav Kitchen is celebrating his 40th year as an Ordained Minister.
He became a minister of the United Church of Canada, June 4, 1976, and is a graduate of Emmanual College.
The goals of Olav’s ministry are:
- to preach the gospel of Christ in a relevant way for all ages.
- to be Christ’s presence in pastoral care and assist in a person’s faith journey.
- to aid God’s people in discovering and doing their unique ministry.
Olav believes in a loving caring God who wants us to live life fully and has come to us in Jesus, the Word made Flesh. Jesus is the head of the church and we serve Him. Olav has been involved in the broader community working with the Royal Canadian Legion and has had various roles in the Scouting movement.
Olav was born in Chengtu, China where his parents were missionaries. His father had been in China since 1920, where he was manager of the United Church Mission Press. His mother, was a medical missionary from the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Norway. After being forced out of China, the family came to Ontario. Olav grew up in Orono, Ontario and Niagara Falls, Ontario. He earned a B.A., degree at Acadia University, Nova Scotia, in 1973, before enrolling at Emmanuel College, Toronto. He earned his M.Div. degree and was ordained by Hamilton Conference in 1976. He has ministered in Saskatchewan, Alberta and Southern Ontario.
He is looking forward to working with the members of the Ruthven Pastoral Charge in serving Jesus on the pastoral charge and in the community. Â

Olinda-Ruthven United Church History
HISTORY OF THE RUTHVEN PASTORAL CHARGE
The Methodist movement began in the early 1800's when Nathan Bangs, a surveyor from New York, came on horseback to bring the Good News. In 1826 the first regular Circuit was formed. The Amherstburg Circuit extended from Amherstburg to Ridgetown, with a membership of approximately three hundred. In 1833 a separation was made in the work on the Amherstburg Circuit and the Gosfield Circuit was organized. The Gosfield Circuit continued for 26 years. The minister would leave a little log parsonage in Kingsville, go on horse back along the lake as far as Chatham, then turn west along Lake St. Clair and the Detroit River to Amherstburg and back to Kingsville, taking him about a month. In 1889 Kingsville became a separate Charge and the Ruthven Circuit was formed.
The Ruthven Circuit included Ruthven, Trinity at New California, Zion, Albuna and Olinda. In 1916, Zion joined the Malden Circuit and Albuna joined with Cottam, leaving Ruthven a three-point Charge (Ruthven, Olinda, Trinity at New California.) At the creation of the United Church (a brief History) (The United Church was inaugurated on June 10, 1925 in Toronto, Ontario, when the Methodist Church, Canada, the Congregational Union of Canada, and 70 per cent of the Presbyterian Church in Canada entered into an organic union. Joining as well was the small General Council of Union Churches, centred largely in Western Canada.) In 1925 the Churches became Ruthven United Church, Olinda United Church and Trinity United Church, New California. This three-point Charge shared a Minister and many special events until 1990. Olinda United Church and Ruthven United Church voted to amalgamate at the Ruthven site and on January 22, 1991 the Olinda-Ruthven United Church was born.
The Ruthven Charge continues to serve God and to share the Good News as a two-point Charge - Olinda-Ruthven United Church in Ruthven and Trinity United Church, New California in the Town of Kingsville. The Charge shares a Minister, worship every Sunday morning, and reach out into the community to spread God's Love and God's Light.
All are welcome!
