Ray Swash (BRE, MTS)

Ray Swash is the lead and teaching pastor and loves to connect with people. After having owned his own businesses for almost 20 years, leaving his mark on the business world it was then God had something different in store for he and his wife, Sandra. God began to prepare and call Ray in becoming a pastor.

During this time God began to implant in Ray a vision to start a church that was a bit different…a church that would be relevant…a church that would strive for excellence…a church where people could genuinely connect with God. He also sensed an opportunity to plant a church with a passion for people who weren't into church, nor connecting with God.

It's here Ray finds the passion of his own heart; seeing God work within the hearts of all people. Check out Ray's Blog

Andra Moore (BRE)

Growing up in a family of nine likely contributed to Andra’s love and dedication to nurturing and relating to children of all ages. Andra has over 15 year’s experience working with children and studied Early Childhood Education at Sheridan College. After working in the childcare field for several years Andra felt God leading her back to pursue theological training which she did through Masters College and Seminary.

While working to complete her Bachelor of Religious Education degree Andra worked on staff at Evangel Pentecostal Church in Oakville leading and directing a discipleship school for University students. After marrying Tim she joined him at the Sanctuary Burlington and once again found herself returning to her roots of working with children. Andra loves traveling and is passionate about advocating for the rights of those born into poverty and injustice. Andra believes that all children whether rich or poor have the right to know that they are loved and valued by both God and by the world around them. Andra sees her role at the Sanctuary as one who would stand beside parents and caregivers to support them as they tackle the awesome task of nurturing and raising their children. It is important to Andra that children understand that, God is real, God loves them, and that there is no better life than a life that is lived for Christ.
