Diane Juckes

Diane Juckes was ordained in 2003. She has pastored at Lower Derby Baptist Church, and served as a chaplain in both hospital and correctional institutions. Diane shares stories of prison ministry in a maximum security setting, and the challenges and opportunities of navigating a multifaith ministry context. Called to Serve is a Canadian podcast featuring the stories of women ordained by churches within the Canadian Baptists of Atlantic Canada. Between 1954 and 2024, over one hundred women were ordained to ministry in Atlantic Baptist churches and around the world. Our project shares and preserves these women's experiences--the joys and challenges they faced, and the impact they've made through their ministries. Learn more at calledtoserve.ca.
