Grace Chapel is lead by a dedicated group of Elders. These Elders are people from our congregation, and our Lead Pastor is a part of this team. The Elders meet at least twice a month to pray, listen, discuss and give direction to Grace Chapel. This group of Elders changes over time with new people joining, and others leaving this responsibility.
In addition to the Elders, we have a number of Pastoral Staff who work collaboratively with the Elders. Each of these Pastoral Staff have a particular area of focus.

Pelham hails from Dartmouth, Nova Scotia but thinks Halifax is great too. He enjoys a good story, a new trail, trivia nights, community events, basketball, and Frisbee. His favourite candy bar, dessert, and condiment are Big Turks, pavlovas, and horseradish respectively. He shares his life with his wonderful wife Allison curious toddler Adeline and brand-new son Gideon. They love this neighbourhood, within which they have played such various roles as chicken-keeper, golden retriever-walker, and BnB- operator. Pelham has been at Grace Chapel since 2015 and is thankful for the rich and diverse community here. If you have a good idea for a game to play at youth group, let him know.
