“The Lord has told you what is good
and this is what he requires of you
to do what is right, to love mercy,
and to walk humbly with your God

Who Am I?
"Welcome! I'm Braden, a Community Service Pastor serving at Chapel, located in the vibrant West Edmonton Mall.
With the privilege of being in the largest mall in Canada, I have the incredible opportunity to engage with people from diverse backgrounds and share the message of Jesus. My passion lies in being the first point of contact for those who are unfamiliar with the Christian faith.
At the Chapel, I am actively involved in next generational programs, with a particular focus on empowering and guiding young individuals. As the coordinator of our dynamic youth program, I strongly believe that God is raising up new leaders from those who may currently be unaware of the transformative power of the Good News.
Join me on this journey of spreading hope, love, and faith within the heart of the West Edmonton Mall community. Together, let's explore the joy of discovering the boundless possibilities that a relationship with Jesus brings."
My Mission
it is my personal mission to be a messenger of the Gospel in unconventional places like the vibrant West Edmonton Mall community. Guided by my deep-rooted faith in Jesus Christ, I am committed to serving and uplifting individuals from all walks of life.
1. Sharing the Good News: I'm passionate about sharing the life-changing message of Jesus in a way that makes sense in our everyday lives. Through hanging out in a mall, conversations, events, and online platforms, I'll break down barriers and show the amazing power of God's love.
2. Connecting People: Let's build real connections in a warm and welcoming space. I want everyone to feel like they belong and have a safe place to explore their faith and ask questions. Together, we'll support and encourage one another.
3. Empowering the Next Generation: I'm committed to empowering young individuals to discover their purpose and become influential leaders. With our exciting youth program, we'll inspire them to make a positive impact in their communities and beyond.
4. Serving Others: I believe that the greatest way to serve other is through prayer. I can listen and support but it is god who changes the heart. It is God who can restore what is broken. I serve other by connecting them with the living God.
5. To be a Bridge to the Church: my goal is to be coneecting people with the local church to see people grow in their faith community
Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the
Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit
