Chris Hewko - Lead Pastor

chrish@highriverchurch.com

 To say that my family and I (Chris, Shellie, Arianna, and Kaiden) are so excited to be a part of this church community would be an understatement. I have never seen such a concentration of fantastic people before and I am humbled to be a part of what God is doing here. I can hardly wait to see the things that God is going to do both in us, and through us as He establishes His kingdom in our town. We look forward to getting to know all of you.

  

Dave Schmidt - Associate Pastor of Spiritual Formation and Ministry Development 

daves@highriverchurch.com

I began my ministry as Associate Pastor at HRAC on June 1, 2008. My primary responsibilities are creating opportunities for spiritual growth as well as develop and give guidance to ongoing ministries within the church. I am passionate about preaching and teaching the good news of Jesus Christ, developing disciples who imitate Jesus Christ, and cultivating an environment that glorifies Jesus Christ. After hours I'm a big sports fan, playing competitive soccer and keeping tabs on my favourite teams. I also enjoys hanging out with friends, watching movies and reading good books.

I have been married to my beautiful wife Amanda for two years as of August 31st!! We are falling in love with High River and are so excited to be here and to get to minister with you!

 

 

Al Walters - Pastor of Shepherding Care awalters@highriverchurch.com

Al has served part time on our pastoral team since 2002 and finds it both thrilling and a privilege to teach, counsel, and encourage people.  Al really enjoys life and embraces all of the challenges and opportunities that come his way.  When not ministering as a pastor, Al enjoys fishing and camping with his wife Anne, golfing, reading good books, and being involved with different types of ministries such as Samaritan's Purse and the Gleaners.
