Gary Powell
Lead Pastor
Gary served as pastor in a variety of roles for 14 years in both Ontario and BC before joining Northwest Langley Baptist Church in October 2020. He has a Master of Arts in Christian Studies from Regent College. His deepest desire is to personally follow Jesus Christ with all his heart and lead others do the same!
Gary has been married to Jessica since 2003 and together they have three children—Mackenzie, Morgan, and Micah. He loves hanging out with his family, taking photos, drawing something that inspires him, having a good laugh, or just “walking-around, looking-around”—leisurely enjoying the world around him.

Brian was born and raised in South Surrey White Rock on a horse farm. He is an avid sportsperson, but especially enjoys ice hockey and snow skiing!
After graduating from BCIT he built two houses and renovated many, which is his passion along with designing and completing projects to the best of his ability. With his schooling and construction background, he opened and operated a successful flooring company in White Rock for over 20 years.
