Congratulations Pastor Dwayne Uglem

At the end of this month Pastor Dwayne will receive a new title: ‘Senior Associate Pastor - Ministry Support.’ This is a new position on our pastoral team, which includes providing oversight to Finance, Facilities, Human Resources, and Information Services functions and staff. Like all our pastors, Dwayne will continue to play a role in our discipleship initiatives and fulfill a variety of general pastoral duties. Since joining our team in 2017, Dwayne has concentrated on adult discipleship and small groups, and we’re grateful for his contributions and uniquely thrilled at the surge in Life Group engagement which has taken place on his watch.

Dwayne holds advanced degrees (M.A., EdD) in Education, and before transitioning to pastoral ministry he served the students and faculty of Briercrest College and Seminary (Caronport, SK) for more than 25 years, including 9 years as President. Under his leadership, Briercrest became the first private college in Saskatchewan to achieve provincial degree granting status. Dwayne has experience leading capital campaigns, managing multi-million-dollar budgets, overseeing strategic planning initiatives, and exercising all manner of staff leadership. We believe this new challenge is ideally suited to his experience, gifts, and abilities, and we’re looking forward to seeing how God will use Dwayne to expand our discipleship reach.
