Staff & Elders

Andrew Melo

Lead Pastor

Andrew became our Lead Pastor in October of 2018. It was toward the end of a diploma in Sports and Recreation Administration that he began wrestling with a call to vocational ministry.  Andrew has since completed Bachelor of Theology and Master of Theology degrees at Heritage College & Seminary. He is passionate about preaching, shepherding and developing leaders.  Andrew’s favourite thing to do is spend time with his wife, Erin, and their daughters,  Peyton  and Tori. The girls help him to laugh often and remember that God is good.
