St\u00e9phan was the first baby born in a young church plant in Mont-Saint-Hilaire in the late 1970s, during a period of revival for the Gospel in Quebec.<\/span><\/h2>\n

He grew up in a Christian family for whom church life was central. He dedicated his life to the Lord at 17 and began part-time studies in theology out of personal interest.<\/p>\n

In 2007, he and his wife Nancy left their jobs to serve at a Christian camp\u2014Nancy as an administrative assistant and St\u00e9phan as director of ministries. They remained there for nine years, and during that time their two daughters, Alyssa and Sarah, joined the family.<\/p>\n

In 2015, they felt called to serve in church planting. They joined \u00c9glise \u00c9vang\u00e9lique Baptiste de St-Hyacinthe, which was planning to plant a church in Beloeil. St\u00e9phan completed his theology studies in 2017, and in 2018 he took leadership of the church planting project.<\/p>\n

In 2017, the youngest, Loukas, joined the family.<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner column_margin=”default” top_padding=”5%” text_align=”center”][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1\/1″ column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][nectar_btn size=”large” button_style=”regular” button_color_2=”Extra-Color-2″ color_override=”#8096f7″ icon_family=”none” text=”Give” url=”https:\/\/www.zeffy.com\/en-CA\/donation-form\/1e6b9dbe-7164-45e7-b851-b59391a11397″][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1\/4″ tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
