Junior High Retreat 2023

Originally hailing from Edmonton, Alberta (GO OILERS!), I am currently residing in Surrey, British Columbia and working at Village Church as our Jr. Youth Associate for our Surrey site. I have been a Youth Pastor for over 7 years, and love working with young people and pointing them to Jesus. I am married to my beautiful wife Kelly and just so we are clear, we are dog people. I love food...a lot, enjoy coffee, I am a huge Harry Potter fan  but most importantly so passionate about sharing how the love of Jesus completely changed my life

I am a Psychology student here at Briercrest. I grew up going to Ignition youth group at the Weyburn Free Methodist Church. I was always unsure of how to trust God when I couldn't see or understand Him. Now even when I can't see God moving and I get impatient waiting for Him to answer me, I know that He has a bigger plan and He wants me to be an active part of it.

Fresh from Briercrest College, Doug Barr started work at Ranger Lake in May 2013 as student coordinator. Hailing from northern B.C., he never thought he'd end up working at a camp in Saskatchewan, but God had different plans. One year later, late in the summer of 2014, Doug accepted the camp director position! As such, Doug oversees summer camp including summer missionaries, general camp programming, and discipleship of campers. He loves to teach, mentor, and practices martial arts in his spare time. You'll also see his wife, Alissa, helping around the camp in the summer in various capacities, including teaching artistic painting at Fanatic Camp.
