John, Jeremy, Aaron - Anthem When a person walks away from church, they usually leave when they're young. Here's three young guys walking with the church and with youth to disciple them in following Jesus. All three are in their final year at Vanguard College and all will be hanging around North Pointe after grad. Meet Jeremy, Aaron and John. Jeremy Berry Though Jeremy Berry grew up in Drumheller (the town known for dinosaurs) he doesn’t actually know that much about dinosaurs. He is a grad of St. Anthony’s School – located on Dinosaur Trail (really). His least fav movie is Jurassic World. As a Anthem Senior High Pastor he aspires to see God work in his life by building…

There's a lot to like about Joey Pilgrim. The man is a multi-talented wonder with a pastor's heart. He's sports savvy - cheering for Connor McDavid and which ever team Connor plays on.

Anna is pregnant and I have to be there to help her bring up the baby.” Finally I sucked in a tiny breath with searing pain. I could see dimly. One shoe and my glasses were gone. I could hear myself groaning as people were pulling twisted shelves, cans and ceiling tiles off of me. My mind reeled. How Did I Get Here? It was the day before our first anniversary June 21,…

I was nervous….and I had reason to be. I was about to tell my Jewish mother that I was seriously thinking of getting engaged and I didn’t know how she would take it. She liked Patti as a person well enough. We’d been dating for a year and that was no big deal. But Patti wasn’t Jewish and so marriage, I knew, would be another issue. Rev. Stephen Hertzog is an elder at North Pointe and the former President of Vanguard College. He presently serves as Eurasia Regional Director with the Pentecostal Assemblies of Canada. Stephen oversaw the relocation of the College into a facility of its own, completed multiple millions of dollars of major renovations, established a scholarship program and…
