Alex Suderman is currently the associate pastor at Kitchener MB Church. He first sensed a call to ministry at the age of 18. This call was confirmed through family, friends, and mentors in the church over many years while attending Bethany College in Saskatchewan, serving in various internships throughout Canada, and while attending seminary in California. Alex has a passion for preaching and teaching the Word of God as revealed in the scriptures. He also teaches biblical interpretation at Emmanuel Bible College in Kitchener. His mission is to help the church to better understand the scripture, so as to become faithful followers of Jesus, bearing witness to God’s reconciling work in the world. He is married to Carla and together they have four children.

Bruce and Patricia Campbell lead Assisting Missions Ministries, a non-profit missions organization, established with the objectives of addressing His instruction through Service and Education.
Bruce graduated from Hope University and also holds Master's degrees from Pepperdine University and University of Oregon in Counseling and Education. Capernwray Harbour Torchbearers writes, "The Lord's equipping is evident as Bruce delivers insightful, practical Bible teaching to Christian workers, missionaries & congregations throughout the world. Discipling men and women in the ways of God is his passion and often keeps him out there and away from his home base in Eugene, Oregon."

Ben Lockyer has been on the leadership team at Southridge Community Church in St.Catharines since 2001. His responsibilities include Community Life (small groups and discipleship), Family Ministry, and the Expansion department that supports the four (current) Southridge locations. Ben and his wife Tracey have four kids (ranging in ages from 3-8 years old) and have been actively involved in Camp Crossroads for many years. They are very excited to combine their involvement with families and passion for Crossroads in the same week!

Michael and Tabitha VandenEnden are the co-pastors of Grantham Mennonite Brethren Church in St. Catharines, Ontario. They both studied theology together at Canadian Mennonite University in Winnipeg where they grew closer to God, particularly by learning how to survive subarctic temperatures. They have a charming two-year-old son with another child on the way.
Before they belonged to the Mennonite Brethren, Michael and Tabitha's respective faith journeys had taken them through diverse Christian traditions at one time or another, ranging from Baptist, to Pentecostal, to Roman Catholic. This diversity comes as an asset to their teaching ministry, as it inspires them to always be reading scripture with a fresh perspective.

A former high school teacher, funeral director, and now pastor, Gil lives in London with his wife Bonnie and 3 hockey playing sons - Joseph, Isaiah, and Jacob.
