Austin Dias

Austin Dias

Youth Pastor

Austin Dias

Hi, I’m Austin! I joined the church staff in May of 2024 and am passionate about discipleship, outreach, and helping others grow in their faith. After graduating from Bible College, I spent several years working with youth through a non-Christian agency and also served as an interim youth pastor. I had the incredible opportunity to spend nine months in Thailand serving with Imagine Thailand, which deepened my heart for missions. In my free time, I enjoy sports, motorcycles, board games, and just about anything active or adventurous!

Lori Ost

Lori Ost

Admin Assistant / Reception

Lori Ost

Hi, I’m Lori, and I am often the first person you’ll meet when you come to the church office. If you need information about general goings on at the church or to book space in the building and the ministry calendar – see me! I am curious, intuitive, empathic, and empowering. This combination is my SUPERPOWER because I deeply care for and connect with people – helping people thrive is my passion! With a background in teaching, church planting and ministry leadership, professional writing, and communications, my expertise lies in guiding people through growth journeys, whether in educational settings or in roles requiring emotional support or spiritual care. I believe in creating an environment of trust, understanding, and collaboration ensuring that those I work with feel heard, supported and equipped with the tools they need for success. Away from the office you’ll find me spending time with my adult children, having a meal with friends, reading, deep diving into a project, or just enjoying a good cup of tea in my cozy home.

Ethan Klaeboe

Ethan Klaeboe

Tech Assistant

Ethan Klaeboe

Hello! I’m Ethan. I love film, photography and storytelling. Capturing the beauty of God’s creation, inspiring others, and sharing meaningful stories through my art is one of my greatest passions. When I’m not behind a camera you’ll find me enjoying a good cup of chai tea latte, playing pickleball or volleyball, jamming on my guitar, or spending time with friends and family - usually while doing my best to win a board game. If you see me sprinting around the church helping with tech, dont be a stranger and feel free to say hello! I probably need a moment to catch my breath anyways!

Josh Maitre

Hi, I’m Josh! I love music, spending time with friends, and learning about God! I have been attending MRAC since the age of 10 and am passionate about helping the Church grow and flourish. I am currently a third-year student at Pacific Life Bible College pursuing a BA in Theological Studies on my way to becoming a pastor. In my spare time, you will often find me reading, playing basketball, or making music. Please feel free to come up and talk to me, I love meeting people and building new connections!

Robbie MacEwan

Robbie MacEwan

Summer Intern

Robbie MacEwan

Hello! I’m Robbie. I’m passionate about music/worship, the Bible, and theology. I love trying to explore new musical ideas through worship and jazz—sometimes both worship and jazz. I also really like jamming with other musicians and trying to adapt to changes that happen spontaneously. I’m a current music and Biblical studies major at Trinity Western University where I love to participate in community life and the daily Chapel. When I am not playing an instrument or at TWU, you will find me reading a book, watching a movie, or listening to a podcast about faith and life. I also have a growing passion for looking at scripture in their historical and cultural context. Besides this I am really looking forward to working with Maple Ridge Alliance Church this Summer!
