Jamie Strickland
Pastor of Discipleship Ministries
Jamie grew up in Toronto and is a big Maple Leaf fan. He grew up going to church, and through the ministry of the church and his parents, he understood the gospel when he was 7 years old and decided to follow Christ. At the age of 16, he was baptized at Rexdale Alliance Church in Toronto and, under the teaching ministry of Pastor Sunder Krishnan, he continued to grow in his understanding of the Scriptures and what it meant to be a disciple of Jesus Christ.
Jamie worked in campus ministry with Power to Change for 13 years spending the majority of his time at the University of Guelph but also included two years serving overseas in Kampala, Uganda.
Jamie transitioned to pastoral ministry and became the Associate Pastor of Outreach and Discipleship at Calvary Baptist Church in Guelph. In 2018, he graduated from Heritage Seminary in Cambridge with his Master of Theological Studies. In 2019, Jamie began serving at West Highland as Pastor of Discipleship Ministries and was ordained with the Fellowship of Evangelical Baptist Churches in 2022.
Jamie is married to Vanessa, and together they have three sons – Noah, Blaise, and Haddon – as well as one son, Jude, who is waiting for them in heaven.
