Gordon Wright I am delighted that my wife and I can worship at Bethany Chapel together with my father and with our four children, believing a church should be inclusive of the whole family. My music and theological training joins with a passion to encourage people to use their gifting in serving the kingdom with excellence. I love to see young adults connecting authentically with Christ as they discover what it is to be his follower in these days. |

Owen Marchand My wife, Lauren, and I are thrilled to be able to be a part of Bethany Chapel. We are both from Halifax, Nova Scotia. For the past six years, I have been studying and involved with youth ministry. I enjoy playing soccer, snowboarding, nature photography and anything to do with the outdoors. I love to see youth fall in love with Christ and impact the world because of it . I also enjoy seeing intergenerational ministry occur within the church. At Bethany Chapel I hope to partner with parents, young adults and other leaders in guiding our students towards a relationship with Jesus Christ. |

I was born and raised in the constant struggle of war with no opportunity for education but God has blessed me with a good beautiful wife Nyalithi and three lovely kids Kenzy, Songa and Mer; and God blessed me with a job at Bethany Chapel as custodian. I call Calgary home where I wish my kids to have a better life. I want to increase my education and put the difficulties of my past behind me. |
