Evans is ordained through the Evangelical Free Church of Canada.

Gerald’s vision to see the Kingdom of God grow, his wisdom and his attention to detail is deeply appreciated.

We have not quite figured out Josh’s title yet. Church planting | discipleship are a passion for Josh and are closely related. He has a desire to see our district Pastors connected in a network of small groups that encourage, disciple, and support one another. Our hope is that out of this idea Church plants may happen that are built on a foundation of building disciples.

Josh is married to Clara and they have two children. They are presently planting a church in the Coquitlam area.

Johnny has a business background in Alberta and was originally a Pastor in the Alliance church in Calgary. He is married to Daisy a retired pastor and member of Vancouver Chinese EFC.

We want to give our younger pastors (Youth Pastors, Young Adults, Children Pastors, and Worship Pastors) a greater voice on our Board and District. Josiah is going to help lead us in this by representing their voices, needs, and ministries on our Board.

Josiah is a Youth/Young Adults Pastor at Whiterock Community Church. He is married to Marti, an accountant, and loves to roast and blend his own coffees!
