Leadership
BOB and lisa COWLING – SENIOR PASTORs
We first connected through planning a worship dance workshop together and this 'Brantford boy' and 'East-end girl' married in 1998. We endeavor to strengthen our relationship through laughter, romance and a commitment to prefer one another more highly than ourselves. We love being parents (and grandparents) both to our adult children and to our teens at home. God's heart for the orphan and those misunderstood is outworked in us through our commitment to parent and contend for healing for our adoptive and foster children. We have made a firm decision that Jesus will write the script of our lives. We feel crazy blessed to be able to partner both as pastors and parents and delight in the dance of life that it requires. We are honoured to be a part of equipping the saints to fulfill the Great Commission in this strategic hour and believe strongly that God has called all of us as believers to ‘the ministry’ - to reach people with the love of God in the spheres of authority He has entrusted to us, beyond the church walls.
KEITH and dixie TUPLIN - ELDERs
We started our church involvement during an exciting regional revival in Regina, Sk in the mid 1970’s. Within a few months we heard from God that we were to marry; we dated for two weeks, were engaged for three months and have been happily married since! We attended Bible School together, played in the church orchestra and were on the leadership team for 10+ years which included teaching Bible School, leading the youth group and a small group and preaching/pastoring in two outreach churches.
Keith returned to aviation in the 90’s which launched our family of four children on a journey to Ontario, the UK, US and the Caribbean for several years.
We love the local church; we’ve spent our adult lives working to fulfill our callings to build and establish her, and we’re still on that mission. He’s coming back soon; she is making herself ready!
We joined HCF in 2012 and have been very involved teaching, preaching, prophesying and building up the saints! We oversee the food care ministry, working with 15+ volunteers to pick up 5-6000 pounds of food monthly, aiming to eradicate food insecurity, supplying to HCF and to several partners in Strathcona and the downtown core.
What a privilege to join with the Saints, serving our risen Saviour and looking for the soon and coming King!
