Samuel Ruigrok
Lead Pastor of English Ministry
God loves a normal guy and Pastor Sam is most normal, but also most love by Christ. He grew up in southern Ontario as a farm kid. This means that he grew up outside and enjoys hiking and camping and seeing the glory and power of the Lord in our natural world. He also grew up working and so knows and respects physical labor as something valuable and putting us in touch with reality and with our own short comings as people.
Church has always been an important part of life for Samuel. He grew up in church, came to faith at a young age and was baptized when he was sixteen. His call to ministry came as a young adult, and studied and served growing into roles of increasing responsibility. His service to Christ rests upon this simple call, “Moreover, as for me, far be it from me that I should sin against the LORD by ceasing to pray for you, and I will instruct you in the good and right way.” (1 Samuel 12.23)
He and his family have lived in Alberta since 2009 and has been blessed to be part of God’s call to Chinese churches. His three motivations in his reasonable act of service in Christ Jesus are; to glorify and enjoy God, our submission to the Scriptures, and mutual submission and affection in the church. With that he also tries to help out around the house, read a good book, and remain technologically in the dark ages; these don’t always work out, but he tries.

Austin McKinley
Pastor of English Student Ministry
Austin was born in Calgary and raised in the country outside Cochrane, AB. He moved to Seattle, Washington for a time and eventually moved back to Alberta. In his early adulthood, he met Jesus and learned of God’s love through the hospitality and welcome of a very special church, and time in prayer while out in nature. After learning carpentry, Austin worked in missions in South East Asia. During his time working in missions he felt a calling from God to work in the Church and began to pursue a BA in Christian Studies with a minor in Biblical Studies (2017-2021). While studying at Ambrose University, he was given the opportunity to work as a pastor in a rural church and in that time of study and church ministry, God refined his calling and gave him a passion for serving and offering the good news of Jesus to young people. Since then Austin has worked in ministry to youth and young adults.
Austin is passionate about seeing discipleship and local mission grow in the church. He believes God desires to see the next generation build up the ministry of the church in these ways and is excited about partnering and serving with them as they grow into that calling.
He and his wife Madeline love adventuring outdoors, good food, and time with family. In 2022 they welcomed their son Hugo to the world and hope to get him hiking and adventuring soon too.
