Over the past 20 years, Adam has Pastored in various environments, from cities in southern Ontario, to the Muskokas, to the middle of the woods in New Brunswick and Northern Ontario. With a core belief in a Gospel so big that it touches every area of our lives, and passion to see the Kingdom of Heaven break through, Adam has had many unique opportunities to travel in the developing world to help rescue lives both practically and spiritually.

ADAM BROWETT- TABERNACLE SPEAKER

Inspired by the thought, ‘there are dark places in this world because Christians are too afraid to go there’, Adam has devoted his life to engaging those dark spaces and inspiring and equipping the church to do the same. Adam has been in fulltime ministry since 2005 and has served in pastoral ministry in both BC and Alberta. Happy to be living on Vancouver Island, Adam serves as the Westshore Campus Pastor at Coastline Church with his wife Shandy and four children Bronwyn, Anderson, Benson, and Thomas.

TIM WOODCOCK- MORNING SPEAKER

Hi, I’m Tim and I’m the Lead Pastor at GT. I grew up in a pastor’s home and have had the privilege of living and ministering both in Canada and the US. I was kind of thrown into ministry at a very young age but  have now been ministering for over 20 years in many different positions and  contexts of ministry. I still feel humbled and honoured that God would allow me these incredible opportunities to be a pastor and leader in His church.

My greatest calling and privilege though is that I am the husband of Jennifer Woodcock and the father of three incredible girls. I love sports (Especially Basketball - Go Hoosiers!!), the outdoors, and reading.

It is my heart to pastor the incredible people that call GT home with conviction and care. I have a strong desire to see the church equipped with a deep understanding of God’s Word and their identity as Sons and Daughters in the Kingdom rule and reign of Jesus. I still believe that the church universal is God’s plan in accomplishing His mission in the world.

I look forward to connecting with you soon and journeying together to see God's purposes accomplished in our generation - In our time!

Renew Your deeds Oh Lord!
