Our People – Next Christian Community

WENDY LOWE

Senior Pastor

Wendy is our Senior Pastor and primary teacher. She has led Christian compassion ministries; taught leadership and team building in the corporate sector. Wendy loves seeing people grow. She is especially excited to see people fall in love with Jesus through Scripture and begin the transformational journey of becoming all that God created them to be.

Wendy leads the staff and volunteers at NEXT in being a community committed to giving people an opportunity to learn more about Christ.

She works closely with the Council (our elders/board) to discern God’s direction for NEXT.

She loves the arts, paints a little, runs a bit, loves a good conversation over a cup of good coffee (especially if the coffee shop requires a passport to get to)

She sees herself as your partner and coach in helping our children understand that Jesus loves them and wants to be their forever friend. She leads volunteers in loving our kids in creating a safe space for kids to learn about the Bible in age appropriate learning clusters.

GARY SHARP

Facilities Manager

Gary, our go to guy on facility maintenance and rentals. He loves to lead and serve the staff and volunteers who make our space ready for our church community and the many guests who come through each week, as renters for parties and programs. Gary champions our value of being a community space for the community of St. Albert. He loves that we are able to give space to AA and NA to help people on recovery journeys have a safe place to gather and connect. He runs the business rental side of our space to allow us to give space the community for compassion focused work. The church is in use all week.
