Julie is the Care and Connections Pastor here at BAC and oversees Pastoral Care, Life Groups, Outreach, Missions as well our Joy 50+ ministry.

Julie was born in Northern Ireland and came to Canada when she was 9 years old. She grew up in a Christian home and at age 7 accepted Jesus as her personal Lord and Savior. She married David in 1994 and has two handsome boys ages 24 and 26. Julie enjoys spending time with her family and friends, as well as reading and taking long walks, especially if they are on the beach :) 

In January 2006, Julie's brother, Warren was killed by a drunk driver. "What an example he was to me of how to live a life fully devoted to Jesus Christ. My faith has grown and I love Jesus so much and want to see others have that same faith." Her favorite hymn is "GREAT IS THY FAITHFULNESS" because despite all that she has gone through, God is good and is faithful to His promises.

Julie has a BA in Psychology from York University. In February 2019, Julie became an Ordained Pastor through the Christian and Missionary Alliance of Canada. She has a Certificate in Biblical Care and Counselling as well as a certificate in Transformational Coaching. She served at BAC as the Children's Pastor for 19 years before transitioning to her role as Pastor of Care and Connections. 

Julie has a heart to care for people and see them connected to Jesus, each other and the life of the Church. She is a willing vessel that wants to be used by God to impact those around her for His Glory.
