Beverly Proctor - Deacon

Hellen Watts - Deacon
I'm a P.K. (preacher's kid) who grew up in a Christian home. My family is very musical, we would gather around the piano with my mother playing, and the rest of us harmonizing to the songs. I love music and I love to worship the Lord.

Ryan Derdall - Deacon
Born and raised in Saskatoon to faithful Christian parents, Ryan has grown up in the Church. From a young age, he has been actively involved in sound, lighting and technical production in churches both in Saskatoon and Calgary. He spends his days as an electronics engineer for Shaw, but in his off time can be found pursuing his automotive hobbies either in his garage or at the racetrack.

Ann Hauer - Advisor
I came to the Lord when my son was born 25 years ago. Always believed in God, but didn’t know Jesus, other than God's son. I was baptized 14 years ago with my husband (Lynn) & our son in the Bow River. Now I know that my only hope is in Jesus, everything that I am & have belongs to the Lord. I have been a member of West Calgary Full Gospel Church for approximately 7-8yrs. Great teaching, great people! Hope has a name, His name is Jesus!
