Jason has served for over 10 years as the Lead Pastor at Fellowship Baptist Church in Edmonton. Focused on expository preaching, developing biblical eldership, and intergenerational fellowship and ministry, he seeks to lead the church on the ancient paths even while navigating our modern, ever-changing age.
Jason grew up in Timmins, ON – a small city, but a lot like Edmonton. After a tour through eastern mysticism, agnosticism, and many other ‘isms’, God broke into his life in his late 20’s. Since coming to know Christ, Jason has been propelled by a passion to tell others of the true joy, hope, and peace in Jesus. This passion for the gospel led him from street preaching into serving for 8 years as a Student Ministries Pastor in Toronto, working with urban youth in a multicultural setting. While serving there, Jason was educated at Heritage College and Seminary, and ordained in 2011 with the Fellowship of Evangelical Baptist Churches in Canada.
Convinced that the church is God’s vehicle for blessing the world, Jason’s goal is to lead the church in living out their identity as the saved and sent people of God. Simone, his wife, keeps him young at heart, and their 3 young children, Elise, Ethan and Isaac are all God’s gracious gifts! When Jason is not helping others know and follow Christ, he is known to enjoy a good movie, epic orchestral music, gaming with his kids, and making his wife laugh at his buffoonery.
