Our Staff

Our Minister

Rev. Johnny Rhoad officially joined our church in January 2025, taking on a shared ministry position that serves the communities of Consort, Oyen, Cereal, and Alsask. Previously, he oversaw the prison ministry at the Drumheller Institution. For the past year and a half, he has been commuting from Drumheller to Consort on weekends to support our local church.

Rev. Rhoad was born in St. Louis, Missouri, but moved to Edmonton as a baby and was raised in Dawson Creek, BC. He attended high school in Langley, BC where he played football. He then earned a science degree at Simon Fraser University, continuing to play football during his studies.

Following his graduation from Simon Fraser, Rev. Rhoad took a student minister placement in Kelowna for a summer. He then moved to Montreal to attend McGill University, where he continued playing football and had the opportunity to explore military chaplaincy. During this time, he spent five years working with the Canadian Armed Forces while completing his studies.

After obtaining his degree from McGill, Rev. Rhoad returned to Vancouver to earn a Master of Divinity. Over his 35 years of ministry, he has spent nearly 20 years in the United States, serving in various roles and furthering his education. In addition to his time in Canada, where he has lived in Quebec, Ontario, British Columbia, and Alberta, he has also resided in Michigan, Indiana, South Dakota, and North Dakota.

Rev. Rhoad and his wife, Taili, a talented musician who plays for some church services, have three sons in their 20s, all born in the U.S. The oldest has graduated, while the younger two are currently attending the University of Alberta.

We are excited to welcome Rev. Johnny Rhoad to our church community and look forward to his leadership and contributions!
