We love sharing the love of God with children and have been blessed to be a part of Awana Ministries for many years. Joyce started in Awana many years ago as a Sparky. Dave’s first exposure to Awana was as a Sparks leader when recruited by Joyce who was then a Sparks Director. Together, we have now served in our home church as Awana Ministry Directors for over a decade.

We call the West Coast Home with our three children. Joyce teaches as nursing faculty at a local post-secondary institute and Dave is an automotive mechanic. On weekends you will find us at the hockey rink and at Awana! Our older two children love attending Awana and our youngest cannot wait till she’s old enough to join them too. It is our prayer to see children come to know, love, and serve Jesus. We want to see our local Awana Ministry thriving and blessing our communities. We look forward to building relationships with our local Ministry Directors, leaders, and clubbers in our role as Awana Advocates.
