Rev. Sonia Brule

Lead Pastor

After graduating from the Classical Animation program at Sheridan College, Sonia began her career as a background painter and key animator for several animation studios.

In 2009, she joined Oakridge Church as a Children’s Pastor, a role she faithfully served in for 15 years.

Sensing a deeper call to pastoral leadership, Sonia went on to complete her Master of Divinity at Huron University College in London and earned a Certificate of Theological Studies from Knox College in Toronto.

She was ordained in September 2024 and accepted her first charge here at Knox-St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church in Dutton, Ontario.

In addition to her pastoral work, Sonia volunteers as a Prison Chaplain at the Elgin Middlesex Detention Centre, where she leads chapel services for women as well as leads services at Bobier Villa’s Long-Term Care home in Dutton, with her ‘Merry Band of Singers.’

Sonia and her husband, Chris, are proud parents to their two adult children—Connor and Giuliana (Giuby)—and their cocker spaniel Samson.
