Rev. Olivia Phillips

Co-Pastor

​In 1993, I made the conscious decision to surrender my life to Christ and become a part of the family of God. I was privileged to be surrounded by genuine and vibrant Christ followers who taught me that the act of surrendering to Christ would be a daily choice. This daily choice has led me to step out of the comfortable future career in research medicine that I had long dreamed of and into the unknown future roles of pastor, professor, and church-planter.
My family for encouraged me when I needed it most, and put pressure on me when I was getting lazy about my faith. My husband and the awesome family that I have inherited through marriage have likewise impacted my faith in unexpected and wonderful ways. Each of our friends, especially those whom we have made in ministry and in the gaming culture we love, thank you for all that you have done to teach me about the God that we serve. It is through the eyes of my family and the family that I have inherited along life’s way that I have been shaped into the person that I am today.

Rev. David Phillips

Co-Pastor

My call into ministry happened sixteen years ago on a cold rainy day. A few months later after realizing the need to submit my life to the love, sacrifice, and authority of Christ my call was confirmed. It has been my deepest privilege to serve these last eight years in various youth pastor roles. I have learned so much over from the moment I first felt God’s call. It has always been my honor to pursue God’s will and calling in my life no matter what the challenge or cost.
​Even today as God has called my wife and I to the City of Toronto, we know that many of the blessings, skills, and wisdom that I have were given from him and from others who were faithful to me during my time at Spencerport Wesleyan and Life Stone. I look forward to growing in areas where others have seen need for me to grow. Ministry like life is a journey, one where we must keep growing so that the glory of the Lord may be seen. So that in our lives people see Christ. And so that with each day, a chance is given for others to come to know the relationship of a life surrendered to the cross.
