He has a deep love for Jesus and believes that we can know, follow, and become like Jesus in the midst of our ordinary shared life together as a church in our community. Preston studied at Covenant Bible College, Briercrest College (BA), Regent College (MCS), Tyndale Seminary (DMin), Jerusalem University College, and is ordained with the Evangelical Covenant Church in Canada (OWSa). He is a writer and contributor to Faith Today Magazine and Ekstasis Magazine, as well as the author of books including “The Bees of Rainbow Falls: Finding Faith, Imagination, and Delight in Your Neighbourhood.” He is passionate about being there for our front-line workers and serves as the RCMP Chaplain for our community. Preston’s great delight is his best friend and wife Kelly and their two girls, Scotia and Ivy.
