Andrew McGregor grew up in northern Alberta where his family church planted. Before moving to Grande Prairie, Andrew lived and served in Fort Nelson Alliance, Flin Flon Alliance, and Fort St. John Alliance where he was previously Lead Pastor.

Andrew’s heart is for people to know Jesus and walk with Him in everything. He is grateful for the opportunity and privilege to continue to shepherd His people. 

Andrew and his wife Maria are the proud parents of two daughters, Anna and Sophia. They enjoy movie nights as a family and being outside together. 

Some fun facts about Andrew:

• He is not a fan of coffee or any other hot drink for that matter. He loves people and conversation but he will be drinking water if invited to “go for coffee.”
• He has absolutely zero driving infractions - not even a photo radar has tarnished his perfect driving record.
• Andrew is not his first name.

He is known in the office for his devotion: to the wellbeing of the staff, to the wellbeing of his fish, and to his wife Adeline. As for Rod's personal interests, he self-defines as having "sequential obsessions." Perhaps a bit cryptic but it perfectly describes his long path of one hobby to the next... to the next... to the next.

"I can think of only three good reasons to wake up early in the morning:

1) It's hunting season.

2) The coffee is ready. (If you can't drink your coffee black, then you're drinking the wrong coffee.)

3) My kids need me.

It turns out, I get up early a lot."

We would tell you his favourite sports team but that's pretty obvious - his jersey is amidst his Sunday best outfit rotation.
