Oversight
Parish Council
The Parish Council is composed of annually elected and appointed members who uphold the constitution and bylaws of St. Peter’s Fireside. They work alongside the Lead Pastor to ensure the responsible implementation of the church’s vision, stewardship of our resources, and management of our affairs as an incorporated religious society. As the name Council suggests, the team serves as an advisory and administrative support to the Lead Pastor. Our current team members are:
Colton Whelpton, People’s Warden
Danielle Kanengoni, Treasurer
Amelia Hesketh, Trustee
Jenn Na, Trustee
Paul Treschow, Trustee
Chandler Bartsch, Secretary
Phill Pearson, Ex-Officio (Staff Representative)
Lloyd Lee, President
The Pastor’s Warden is responsible to oversee the Lead Pastor’s well being and participates in stewarding the vision of St. Peter’s. The People’s Warden advocates for the people of the congregation. This includes representing the insights, needs and concerns of the community (with confidentiality and anonymity if necessary).
