Arlyn Friesen Epp he/him
Director, CommonWord Bookstore and Resource Centre
Arlyn began as Director of the Mennonite Church Canada Resource Centre in 2004, which integrated with the CMU Bookstore in 2015 to become CommonWord. His primary role at CommonWord is to help curate a source of Anabaptist and related materials, and to link the CMU community and Mennonite Church Canada congregations with those resources—items to buy, borrow, or access online.
Before coming to CommonWord, Arlyn was a pastor and area church youth minister. Several of his passions are drama and creative worship. Arlyn loves a good hockey or baseball game, and enjoys camping and gardening. He is married to Judith and values the special family times when their adult children come home.
