English Student Fellowships

Anthony has a passion for discipleship and mentoring students to pursue a deep, rich relationship with God.

Born and raised in Ottawa, he understands the core values and beliefs of the local culture and seeks to teach his students how to navigate that culture while still upholding a strong, vibrant faith.

Anthony’s vision for the student ministry is that they are able to love and care for one another more akin to a family than a church. His desire is to see the youngest students able to look up to university students, and conversely seeks to have university students who are willing and able to develop “big brother/big sister” bonds that will last long after they’ve left student ministry.

Having previously worked in Ottawa at SunnySide Wesleyan Church, Doulos Ministries, Indigenous youth, camp ministries and sports ministries, Anthony seeks to share his experiences with the youth while encouraging them to live their lives for Jesus.

Natalie (or Nat) grew up in Ottawa and is a familiar face to OCAC brothers and sisters/aunties and uncles! She has a gentle spirit, a loving heart, and an enduring devotion to Christ. Nat has an angelic voice that she uses to sing songs of praises to our Lord and remind God’s people of the truth in His words and promises! She may come off as a quiet person but she’s a courageous woman who will gladly try new things to spend quality time with others!

This is TRUNG also known as trungformer (on Zoom) and trungle – partner in crime with Lois. He is a friendly, welcoming, fun-loving and goofy guy, yet he has a gentle and caring soul. Growing up in a non-Christian household and making the decision to follow Jesus in his teenage years, he has an incredible testimony which he would not hesitate to share with you! He likes to fellowship with others through sports, cooking, and “social-eating”. Bonus: Trung has a great laugh…If you can get him to laugh, it might make you laugh too!!

Diana is a boba-loving worship leader with a passion for serving the young minds of tomorrow. She moved all the way from Calgary–-the land of oil, wheat, and Alberta beef–-to share her love of God and joy with worship with you. You can spot her indulging in grandma-like hobbies like crocheting, or singing literally any song or tune that gets stuck in her head.

As someone who grew up with a chaotic youth group (in all the best ways), she knows just how important being a part of a vibrant community is when navigating life‘s problems. And she knows, high school is FULL of them. When life gives you lemons, you gotta give them to God because He makes the best lemonade. Ask Diana for her stories of how God worked in her and through her in the darkest of places. Whether you need to let off steam through an overdue rant or crying session, or whether you want to sing your heart out with praises to God in a jam session, Diana‘s there for you. And you can bet she‘ll be crying or jamming with you. But probably not both at the same time.

David has been involved with student ministry for as long as he can remember (and that’s a long time). His passions are deeply rooted in seeing the potential of how we are each uniquely and wonderfully made.

His passions to mentor and disciple the students to reach their potential continues to invigorate and keeps him young at heart. To equip the youth of today, and enable them to take on the world of tomorrow, is his desire and goal.

Seeing the students reach an “ah-ha moment” is the most rewarding aspect and why this ministry is so rewarding.
