The spiritual leadership at Rideau Christian Fellowship is shared by our elders. Read a brief bio of each of them and their wives below.
Terry & Heather Wills
Terry and Heather are deeply connected with the community around Rideau Christian Fellowship. Terry’s family has lived in the area for eight generations and their two adult children and six grandchildren continue to live nearby. They have operated their family business in Eastern Ontario for many decades and love connecting with old and new friends in the outdoors – four-wheeling, snowmobiling and enjoying the Rideau waterways. Heather plays an essential role in administration and event planning for RCF. Together, they are passionate about sharing the love and truth of Jesus, be it around their dining room table, through local ministries like Calvary Christian Academy, or through their support of various missionary efforts around the world.
Lloyd & Clara Clyne
Lloyd and Clara bring wisdom, experience and a warm love for Jesus to their leadership at Rideau Christian Fellowship. Lloyd has served as an elder since 1985 and together, they have been faithful parents (to three), grandparents (to eight) and great-grandparents (to six, and counting!). They love to serve the Lord through timely advice, music ministry, visiting with those who need a friend and by offering a helping hand. Their love for Jesus and for people is evident to all.
David Joynt
Dave’s broad work experience has helped equip him to serve the community of Rideau Christian Fellowship. He has worked as a school-teacher, a police officer, a foster parent and manager of a golf course. He gives generously and wisely to all who need it and has shared his love for the outdoors with many across his time at RCF. He serves as a faithful and stable example of Christian love.
Harry & Coralie Gardiner
Harry and Coralie love to teach the Bible in and out of church. Both enjoy teaching the Bible and the way of Jesus to children and adults alike. Coralie has been a teacher at Calvary Christian Academy and leads the music ministries of Rideau Christian Fellowship. Harry has enjoyed teaching in the Sunday School and in the main service. Together, they lead a small group and use their home as a hub for conversations of significance and to live out their passion to see families and young people thriving in their pursuit of Jesus.
Dan & Catherine Kruszelnicki
Dan and Catherine live in Perth with their four children. They use their gifts to serve through a cross-section of ministries at Rideau Christian Fellowship and the broader Christian community. Catherine leads the youth ministries of Rideau Christian Fellowship. Dan is passionate about telling the true story of Jesus in beautiful ways – whether writing or preaching. Together, they lead the junior youth group, host a small group in their home, lead worship and are involved in marriage counselling and camp work.
