Pastor Len has been Lead Pastor at Faith Baptist Church since May 2014. He comes back to Vernon after 40 years away, having served as pastor, missionary and church planter in Canada and Tanzania. He is married to Marilyn, and they are parents to 4 sons (all married) and proud grandparents of 10 grandchildren.

Chris Laser – Pastor of Youth & Young Families
Born and raised in Calgary AB, Pastor Chris and his wife Shannon and their 3 children crossed the Rockies and came to Faith Baptist Church in August 2012. Since arriving, he has taken an interest in “Gourmet Hot Dogs” each week with several students, and continues to expand his enjoyment of fine coffee. Sharing in this journey of life with students is something both Pastor Chris and Shannon have embraced, pointing to the story of how God is at work in the world around us.
Debbie Roy – Office Administrative Assistant
Debbie has been married for 36 years, has two beautiful children and six incredible grandchildren. She enjoys being a homemaker, reading good Christian books, spending time with the family of God as well as her own family and doing “computer stuff”. Not necessarily in that order.
She comments: “Being the OAA for Faith Baptist Church is a joy for me. My heart has always been in the church, so for me to serve here in this capacity is such a blessing, and I sincerely hope to be a blessing to the body of Christ.”
