Dave was born in Truro, Nova Scotia, Canada and grew up in the village
of Bible Hill. In 1981 he went to Bethany Bible College searching for
the Lord. In September of 1981, Dave asked Christ into his heart and in
1982 felt a call to go into full-time ministry. In 1985 Dave graduated from college with a B. A. in Religion and took a position as assistant pastor at Hillside Wesleyan Church in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia. His wife Dawn, whom he met at college, graduated in 1986 with a B. S. in Christian Education. They were married that same year. She joined him in Dartmouth and in 1987 they then moved to Manchester, New Hampshire where they helped to pioneer a church in that city. In 1990 they moved to Havelock, Nova Scotia where he pastored a church for 6 years. They then moved to Perth-Andover, New Brunswick where he was Senior Pastor for five years. In 2001 they felt the Lord leading them to leave Perth-Andover and later accepted a call to Christ Wesleyan in Milton, PA. Pastor Dave started as Senior Pastor on August 24, 2008 here at Yarmouth Wesleyan church. Pastor Dave and Dawn have 3 children, Josiah (1988), Andrew (1990) and Rebecca (1992). |

Pastor
A.J. grew up in Ontario in a Pastor’s home. Growing up he always
wondered if he would be a pastor someday. God’s call on his life was
confirmed when he was 18 and two years later he enrolled in Bethany
Bible College. He graduated in 2005 and worked as a Youth Pastor in
Bristol, NB. His favourite part of being a pastor is meeting and getting to know new people. He also loves teaching God’s Word and seeing people become the men and women God intended them to be. Pastor Julia was born into a Christ following family in Fredericton, NB. She was always involved in camp ministries and childcare and knew that whatever path she took she wanted to work with children. She enrolled at Bethany Bible College in 2003 with a desire to learn more about his Word and serve Him in whatever way he would have her. Graduating with a Bachelor of Arts in Religion in 2007, God had used her time in school to confirm his calling on her life to minister to His children. Being blessed to have been instructed and raised in the knowledge of the Lord at a young age, she desires to teach and show that love of Christ to others. Julia and A.J. met at Bethany Bible College and were married in December 2006. They moved to Yarmouth in July 2007 where Pastor A.J. is the Community Pastor and Pastor Julia is the Children’s Pastor. |

When Rev. Ron Morehouse prays, he has a way
of opening the doors of heaven and has ushered Yarmouth Wesleyan to the
throne of grace many times as he speaks to the Father on their behalf.
With a love of outdoors, canoeing, fishing, motorcycling, he has a great
appreciation for God's creation and holiness. Pastor Ron is loved and
respected by all and looked to as a man with much wisdom and experience
in serving the Lord with dedication. Born in Fredericton, NB in 1925, Pastor Ron lived the first 17 years of his life in Doaktown, NB on the Miramichi River. He served with the RCAF during World War II, returning in 1946 to work as an auto mechanic. In 1949 he began to attend BBC which was located in Yarmouth at the time. He married Kay Lutes in 1951, also a Bethany student. They have two daughters, Ruth and Angela. He graduated in 1952 and was ordained as an Elder of the church in 1953. He and his wife served in pastorates in Havelock, NB, Millville, NB, Sandford, NS, and North Head Grand Manan, NB. Pastor Ron joined the staff at Yarmouth Wesleyan in 1984 as Pastor of Counseling and Visitation. Now he is fully retired and holds the title of Pastor Emeritus. He and Kay are thankful to God for all of His leading down through the past 50 years of service, and they continue to serve God. As one of the senior Pastors on the Atlantic District of The Wesleyan Church, it is an honor to have such a wonderful godly resource in our midst. |
