In advance of KGF's Annual General Meeting, Sunday February 26, the nominating team would like to introduce potential candidates for positions on the board. Each week you'll meet and hear one of their stories on this page. Please download your copy of the Annual General Reports here.

I am honored and excited to let my name stand for the secretary position on the board. Having served in leadership capacities at Stillwood Camp and for CMU's Outtatown Discipleship School, I am aware of the hard work and the joy that comes from working on a solid team and leading a group well. I love being part of decisions that move the organization forward in positive ways. I am excited to help lead the church as we continue to grow and expand. I also am passionate about supporting and encouraging the staff we have and those that will be joining the team.

 

I became a Christian early in life. As I grew and matured so did my faith. At various points of my life new commitments and beliefs became part of my faith journey. Daily fellowship with God is a goal I continually work towards. I desire to be increasingly mindful of my relationship with God in every aspect of my life. Periodic time of communing with God have enriched the relationship we have. I look forward to those extended periods of time to spend on a ‘date’ with Jesus. I know that a relationship with God is a journey I'm on for the rest of my life and I desire to consistently strive in that direction.

I came to KGF during a time when Pastor Mike's phrase, "You're more sinful than you think and more loved than you can imagine" was a commonly spoken phrase. Being "more loved than I could imagine" was crucial for me to hear at that time. I wanted to be part of a church where real life intersects with the supernatural love of God. I have found that at KGF.

Another important aspect of church life for me is being known. I have found an incredible support network and amazing friends at KGF. I now feel known here and I love that. I have loved being involved with Break Away, leading a Life Group with Eric, quilting with the Ladies Mission Circle and teaching the grade 5/6 class Sunday school class for a term.

I also love being part of a multigenerational church. Having grown up in one I appreciate the uniqueness of each generation. Calling KGF my church signifies that I’m really at home here.

I am excited to journey with KGF in this new capacity!
