nathan@fraserlands.ca

Pastor Nathan was born and raised in Edmonton, AB. His love for music transformed into a passion for leading musical worship during his teenage years.

Attending Ambrose University in Calgary, he graduated with a Bachelor of Theology in Church Ministries.

 

Since 2014, Nathan has been a pastor in Vancouver – currently at Fraser Lands Church. He is passionate about seeing people take steps in obedience to Jesus, especially those of the next generation.

Danielle Johnson

Senior Associate Pastor of Spiritual Formation at Kamloops Alliance Church

daniellej@kac.ca

I’m Danielle Johnson. I live in the beautiful city of Kamloops, BC, with my husband, Ben, and our two children, Eloise and Oliver. Our family loves spending time outdoors hiking and biking, and we’re always looking for any excuse to visit a good café.

 

My life stands as a witness to the incredible and ongoing transformative work of Jesus, and I am driven by a deep desire to see others grow in rich relationship with Him. This passion has shaped and defined my pursuits over the last 15+ years, including my decision to minister in Cairo, Egypt, church plant in Coquitlam, BC, and enter full-time pastoral ministry.

 

In 2018, our family left the Lower Mainland and returned home to Kamloops where I now serve as the Senior Associate Pastor of Spiritual Formation at Kamloops Alliance Church. It’s a privilege to be part of our Senior Management Team, developing strategy, shaping culture, and furthering our mission to know Jesus and make Him known. I hold a Business degree (Honours) from Simon Fraser University, which has equipped me with valuable skills in organizational leadership and management, which I combine with a deep love of theology and spiritual formation.

 

As a C&MA girl through and through, I am proud to be a part of Alliance churches across the world, which exist to be increasingly Christ-centred, Spirit-empowered, and mission-focused – multiplying disciples everywhere!
