Lead Pastor at Harvest Bible Chapel Barrie
Todd and his wife Cheryl and their three (now adult) children came to Barrie in 2001 to plant Harvest Bible Chapel with a group of eight local families.
Todd became a Christ-follower at the age of 15 through the ministry of The Salvation Army and Youth for Christ. A few years later, he was baptized at Faith Baptist Church where he would later serve as the adult ministries pastor and be ordained to pastoral ministry. He is a graduate of London Baptist Bible College and Heritage Seminary.
Born in Montreal, Todd continues to enthusiastically support the Habs, and is also a diehard Dallas Cowboys fan because he only cheers for classy teams.
He has a deep passion for the church and the preaching of God’s Word. and he knows through his more than 20 years of pastoral ministry that what counts most is finishing well. Based on Galatians 2:20, his life mission is to, “Live and lead others to live by faith in Christ.”
