Rev. Kirk Perry, Lead Pastor

I have had the privilege of serving the church in many different capacities for more than 25 years. We arrived in Brockville in 2013 and love our city and its people. My family includes my wife Joanna, two boys, two cats and a dog. My passion is preaching and teaching God’s truth in a way that everyone can understand. I’m also a huge sports fan. Go Bears. Go Hurricanes.

Richard Birtch, Youth

I surrendered my life to Christ in 2004 and I have been involved in some way or other with Children/Youth ministries ever since. I really enjoy watching those lightbulb moments when a young person makes that connection with God. I care a lot for my family and God has been using me to minister within my own family and His.

Jessica Weaver, Children

I have had the privilege of working in various aspects of pastoral ministry for over a decade. I’ve been a part of the Brockville Wesleyan church since I myself was a child, and I am honoured to be working with and mentoring the next generation of children and youth.  I am passionate about encouraging kids to be who God made them to be while learning what it means to listen to and follow the voice of God.

Rev. Joanna Perry, Outreach

Everyone calls me “Jo” I’m married to Pastor Kirk, and we have two sons. My passion is helping to find ways that our people can assist and support others outside the church walls. I believe it’s important for kids to have fun at church while they’re learning. You’ll also find me spending time hanging out with teens at our youth group. I love getting to know others over coffee and also enjoy reading, thrift shopping, and brainstorming about ways to help others thrive.

Rev. Audrey Marples, Visitation

My husband and I and four children emigrated from England to Canada in 1978. We ministered as a team in Wesleyan Churches at Trenton and Palmer Rapids before coming to Brockville to work with our son, Stuart, in 1999. The bigger part of my pastoral service was spent in Children’s Ministry but for the last eight years, I have served as Pastor of Visitation. Outside of church work I love spending time with my family which includes 11 grandchildren and 5 great-grandchildren.
