Pastoral Transition
As Bethel Sundridge begins the pastoral transition, we’d like to keep you informed on updates and news along the way. We invite you to join us in continued prayer as we enter this season of transition and preparation for the future.
As we enter a new season welcoming Pastor Kerby, let’s also take a moment to say a big farewell to Pastor Gary and Joy Burt. They have been absolutely amazing and perfectly suited for this season in our church’s journey.
Join us for a special farewell on Sunday, August 31st, following the service. We’d love to have everyone come out to say goodbye and show our appreciation!
Where We Are in the Process
We’re thrilled to welcome Pastor Kerby Stivene & family to our Bethel Sundridge family as our new Lead Pastor! 💛
Born and raised in Montréal, Pastor Kerby started preaching at just fifteen and has spent the past two decades serving in ministry — most recently as Sr. High Student & Young Adults Pastor at Bethel Church in Sarnia. He’s also a leadership coach, national speaker, and passionate advocate for discipleship, leadership development, and revival across Canada.
Pastor Kerby has a heart for people and believes authentic, life-giving relationships are the foundation of a thriving church. He’s excited to connect with our congregation and share the hope of the Gospel with our community.
Pastor Kerby and his wife, Marie Stivene, have three wonderful kids — Bryanna, Deborah, and Timothy — and enjoy camping, fitness, and family adventures.
✨ Their very first Sunday with us is Sunday, September 7 at 10 AM ✨
We can’t wait to start this new season together — come meet the Stivene family and see what God is doing here!
We will also be praying for Bethel Sarnia as they enter a season of transition. We are grateful for all that God has done there and excited for the new season ahead for both churches.
We’re so excited for all that Pastor Kerby and his family will bring—not only to our church but to the entire community. Super excited!
This is us. We are Family.
You belong here. Welcome home. 🫶
