Brian Louw
Lead Pastor
Born in South Africa, Brian grew up during the country's sad history of apartheid. This experience gave him a heart for all people, acknowledging that all people are created in the image of God; all people are equal and equally in need of grace and forgiveness. Brian has been in full-time pastoral ministry since 2007, which he moved into after working for a decade in the Information Technology sector. Brian's hobbies include running, reading, and appreciating good coffee. Married to Cindy since 2000, they have two children and feel blessed to call White Rock/South Surrey home. Feel free to reach out and connect with him.
