Our Staff

 

Steve LambertSteve Lambert

Pastor of Teaching & Discipleship
Steve came on staff in 2008 and served as youth pastor for seven years before stepping into his current role in 2015. Steve's desire in ministry is to see Christians grow to be more Christ-like. His goal is to help believers connect their faith to their everyday lives and learn what it means to really have a relationship with God. He seeks to help the body of Christ recognize the important roles they hold as members of the body of Christ and as ambassadors of Christ to the unsaved around them.

Aaron WoodhouseAaron Woodhouse
Pastor of Community Engagement
Aaron came on staff in 2002 as the youth intern.  In 2003, he was voted in as the youth pastor.  He served here for five years and then left for a time to be a foster parent among other things.  Aaron came back as interim pastoral staff in 2013.  In 2015 he stepped into his current role.  Aaron's passion is for the gospel and the church of Christ.  He desires to see the unsaved come to know Christ and turn to Him in repentance.  He is committed to the growth of believers in their devotion to Christ.

Beth Alexander 
Children's Ministry & Admin
Beth first joined the ministry team in the summers of 2018-19 as an intern, helping run our camp programs. She came back for another intern year in 2022 and continued on in helping with Children's Ministry, mentoring our summer and Liebenzell interns, as well as helping with admin needs. Beth seeks to walk alongside families and support them as they disciple their children and encourage them to love Jesus and the church. She desires to see young people be convinced of Christ and devote their lives to him. 

Gary Hudson
Pastoral Intern
Gary joined us as a Pastoral Intern in May of 2023 and will be serving with us for 16 months. As a church that desires to equip people for ministry, we also want to identify men who desire pastoral ministry and help equip them for that calling. Gary will be gaining training and experience as he serves in a pastoral role at Forward. He is passionate in discipling and walking alongside other men as they seek to follow Jesus.
Jana Ulmer
Liebenzell Impact Intern
Jana is here for 11 months with Liebenzell, a German missions organization. She will be helping us with children's ministry, food bank, administrative tasks, church events and everyday ministry. Their slogan is 'take an impact, leave an impact', Jana looks forward to learning and growing personally, as well as working alongside the rest of the ministry team in making Jesus known in Toronto.
