Pastor Brian was born in Winnipeg, the second of three brothers, and spent the first twenty-two years of his life there. After graduating with a B.Sc. in Ecology from the University of Manitoba, he entered the Lutheran Theological Seminary in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan and graduated with an M.Div. in 1992.

Since his ordination in that same year, Pastor Brian has served Lutheran parishes in Manitoba, Ontario and British Columbia.

When he is not busy with parish duties or keeping up with his family, Pastor Brian sings with the Cantabile Singers, a community choir in Kamloops. He also likes fishing and has been “hooked” by the many fly fishing opportunities available in the area surrounding Kamloops.

Of particular interest to Pastor Brian is ministry with our younger generations. He puts a high priority on providing opportunities for young people to explore their faith and is always seeking new ways to involve our children and youth in the life of the church.

“I believe that God is a God of unconditional love and unsurpassed grace. In the person of Jesus Christ, God has been most clearly revealed as a personal God concerned with the well-being of all. God seeks us out, creates a relationship with us and gives us the gift of community. The church needs to be a place where all people can feel safe and comfortable coming with their questions and concerns to meet this God who loves them.”
