Say hello to the leadership team at Ladner Baptist Church. Got questions for the lead team at LBC? Feel free to email one of us directly or at office@ladnerbaptist.ca

Jeff and Ruth came to LBC in November 2020 when Jeff answered a call as Interim Pastor. They both hail from Alberta, Ruth being raised on a farm and Jeff in Calgary. They met at Bible College in Calgary in 1986 and have been actively learning how to love each other ever since. Jeff has pastored five churches in BC over the years. At the beginning of their marriage they spent two years in Japan as short-term missionaries teaching ESL as a way to introduce people to Jesus. Both Jeff and Ruth share a passion for leading people to become excited about life with Jesus. They both enjoy the outdoors, including cycling, hiking, kayaking and paddle boarding. Jeff is an avid photographer, and if he had time and money he would spend some of it golfing. They are excited and humbled to have the privilege of walking with LBCers as we learn how to walk with Jesus together and share His hope with the people of Ladner.

Together with her husband, Curtis, and three children, Sabrina moved to Ladner in 2001 and started attending LBC in 2010. After becoming a member a year later, she loved being a Sunday School teacher, and serving on the LBC Board as Secretary from 2013-2019. During those years it was her pleasure to do some relief work for LBC’s then Admin Director, Judy, becoming Judy’s part-time Admin Assistant in 2019. When Judy retired Sabrina accepted the Admin Director position. Sabrina loves spreadsheets, word games, good books & movies, knitting, paper crafts, Dr. Pepper, putting on tea parties & dinner parties, travelling, fair-weather camping, and the beach. (Some of these are more in theory than in reality.) But there’s no question that Sabrina loves being part of the Body of Christ at LBC, always learning & growing while we follow Jesus together and share His hope! 

Brando has been a volunteer since 2011 but had the privilege of coming on staff January 2020. Yes, just before Covid hit! He helps facilitate our Youth program alongside some phenomenal volunteers, coordinates our media team, and is also an avid skateboarder! He has worked with a non profit called Skatelife since 2016 which brings the good news of Jesus to skateboarders across Canada. In 2015 He married his lovely wife (and best friend) Rylie. Together they enjoy going to the gym, movies, and yes ... some video games from time to time. Brando and Rylie have a huge heart to see people get to know Jesus more as we follow him in community!

Angela and her husband Nathan came to LBC in 2013 where Angela would join our staff team. Since then their family has doubled as they now have two amazing kids. Angela is passionate about working with young people and seeing them come to know Jesus. She loves teaching God’s word and doing life with the amazing families at LBC. She also loves planning events and parties!

Angela enjoys connecting with people through good food, board games, or a good chat over a cup of tea. She also loves cooking and baking, taking photos, spending time outside and especially adventuring with her little family. Angela is excited to see what God has in store for LBC as we grow and learn about following Jesus together.
