SunRidge Staff

MIKE KLASSEN – LEAD PASTOR

Mike has been the Lead Pastor at SunRidge since it started in 1997. Along with his wife Teresa and their four children Mike has been blessed to lead and guide SunRidge to where it is today. Mike holds a Masters degree in Divinity and is currently working on his Doctorate in Pastoral Ministry. His greatest passion in life is seeing the local church come alive through people discovering why they were born and understanding the transforming power of Jesus in their lives. Mike smiles the biggest when the conversation turns towards Harley’s, Water Skiing, or just about anything else that involves going really fast.

BRIAN HAWKINS – STUDENT MINISTRIES PASTOR

Brian has been the Student Ministries Pastor at SunRidge since June 2007. At the core of his ministry is a belief that God will use the up and coming generations to revive His church and change the world for Jesus Christ. At SunRidge Brian serves alongside a team to bring oversight to the Sunland Children’s Program, SunRidge Student Ministries, and SunRidge Young Adults, so if you have a child Brian is the person to talk to. When Brian isn’t working with the students of SunRidge, he can usually be found cheering for the Edmonton Oilers, or as he calls them “the greatest assembly of athletes in the history of professional sport.”

KELSEY CLARKE – OUT OF SCHOOL CARE DIRECTOR

Kelsey has been on staff at SunRidge since April of 2009. Her passion is to see children experience the truth of Jesus Christ through an innovative presentation and loving relationships. Kelsey joined our staff as the Sunland Intern in the Spring of 2009 after returning from a Discipleship Training School with YWAM in Perth, Australia. She has now taken on the role of director of our Out of School Care Program.

ERIN MACINTOSH – ADMINISTRATION

Erin is the smiling face that has been greeting everyone who walks through our doors since September of 2007. Erin has the superhuman ability to keep Mike and Brian organized while also providing administrative oversight to everything that goes on at SunRidge. In addition to her administrative work, Erin also works with our Out Of School Care program.
