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!

Kim Blackaby

Spiritual Formation Director

Kim Blackaby

Hi! I’m Kim! I grew up in Saskatoon where I received a Bachelor of Education degree, later adding a Master’s Certificate in Bible and Theology. Together with my husband Tom, my ministry path has taken me across four provinces and two countries — from small-town Saskatchewan to serving in an international church in Norway, active in leading various ministries and teaching God’s word. Tom and I have three grown children and three grandchildren who bring incredible joy to our lives. I love a good conversation, a thought-provoking book or podcast, prairie sunsets, travel and exploring the mountains and countryside of beautiful British Columbia. Spiritual formation is at the core of who I am, and my passion is to help people discover the abundant, meaningful life they were created for in relationship with Jesus Christ. Come along and let’s journey together!
