Pastor of Discipleship & Next Generation
Paul was born in Vanderhoof, BC into a Christian family. In 1999, Paul’s family moved to Swift Current, SK, which is mostly where he has lived since. Wanting to follow in his father’s footsteps of becoming a Pastor, and having a God-given desire to work in ministry, Paul went to Millar College of the Bible in Pambrun, SK, where he graduated in 2014 with his Bachelors of Biblical Studies.
Since Paul was a teenager, he has had a desire to work in Ministry in any way, shape, or form the Lord would have.His ministry at Restoration House involves working with the Youth and Young Adults in the congregation, holding events, Bible studies, and more. As well as organising the church’s Discipleship Groups and building up and training leaders within those groups.
When not at the church or church-related events, you will find Paul spending time with friends and/or family, playing board games, or relaxing at home and enjoying life.

Overseer
Brian remembers giving his life to Christ when he was in grade 5 but truly following him when he was in his late 20s. His pastor at the time was a wonderful influence on he and his wife, Candi (who have been married over 35 years!) helping them to learn how to get involved in their local church and live for Christ. Life has not always been easy or simple since then, but Brian finally came to the understanding that he can't do it on his own and now lets Jesus direct his path!
​
Brian & Candi have 5 children, Rylee (Andrew Doerksen), Tanya (Dustin Newman), Shannon (Cole Skrudland), Landon, and Leeland. They have 7 grandchildren, Hudson, Liam, Sarah, Grace, and Jenna; and Adler & Winslet.

Overseer
James was raised in a Christian home in Blumenort, 20 minutes south of Swift Current and came to a saving faith in Jesus at the age of 5 years old.
A missionary spoke at his church and he asked his mom to pray with him and she guided him on how to repent of his sins and ask Jesus to be his Saviour. He was baptised at the age of 16 and even though he was terrified to give his testimony in front of the church, what a blessing it was to share with them that Jesus was his Saviour and his strength.
James married Laurie 33 years ago and they have enjoyed being involved in different ministries in the church. They have worked in kids’ ministries, camps, led Bible studies, and James has served on worship teams and also as an Elder and Deacon.
James and Laurie have raised two kids, Tyler (25) who just got married to Julia last year and Gracie (23). They both attended Millar college at Sunnybrae in Salmon Arm, BC and are serving the Lord. What a blessing it is to have them all walking in the faith!
