REVEREND AUBREY FRANCIS

Associate Pastor

Reverend Aubrey Francis felt the calling to teach, love, and disciple others in 1990. It's what he wants to be known for - being a faithful servant of the Lord in God's house. That calling has led to him serving as an ordained minister and associate pastor with the Church of God for 30 years. He has preached and taught at funerals, weddings, prayer meetings, and on various Sunday mornings.

He was born in Jamaica and migrated to Canada in 1973 where he accepted Jesus Christ as His Lord and Saviour. His personal salvation is the root of his desire to see souls saved, delivered, and set free by the power of God.

He is the father of Jermaine and Jessica and he met and married his beautiful wife Lois in 2000. They are wonderful gifts to him from God.
