David Donaldson serves as our Associate Pastor-Ministry Teams.

Beginning with his missionary parents to Northern Ontario, he learned that the local church is truly the hope of our communities. Starting in the north, then decades of leadership in St Catharines and Guelph churches, he brings years of experience in church leadership. Throughout these years David has integrated his church ministry with his vocational work.

After 20 years in Christian bookstore management, earning a seminary degree, and 9 years in pastoral training in Kenya, God opened the door for pastoral ministry. First, as interim pastor at his and Diane’s ‘home’ church in Guelph, then here at Mimico Baptist. 

David and Diane have two grown children and two grand-daughters. Together they enjoy back-country canoe tripping, quiet evenings at home, movies, reading and playing board and card games.

Jan Thomas has been the Music Director for over 30 years. 

Her love of the classic hymns combined with a delight in new choruses of worship and praise led her to a blended style of worship which uses both a mini-worship team of piano and guitar, and also a choir and the organ. Jan believes that music adds greatly to the worship service, expressing, reflecting and guiding our response to God. It is her sincere desire to provide a music program which is Scripturally based and beneficial to the congregation. Various opportunities are provided for participation. 

Her husband, Dave is also involved in the ministry of music at MBC. Her daughter, Laura is involved in her church in Guelph. Her son, Jeffrey (Andrea), and grandchildren Emily and Olivia are involved at their church in Whitby. She has a B.A. from the University of Toronto, earned her piano certificate from the Royal Conservatory of Music, and studied organ privately.

Our office administrator Sharon Kettlewell has been attending MBC since 1988 and started her job as secretary/Office Administrator in 1992. 

She has lived in the Lakeshore area (Mimico/New Toronto) all her life. She graduated from Mimico High School and attended two years at York University. She married Richard in 1976 and has two grown children. She is also the proud and fun loving Nana to twins, a girl and a boy.

Sharon’s favourite Bible verse since becoming a born-again Christian in 1969 is 1st Corinthians 10:31, “ So whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do All for the Glory of God.” She has done her best, with the Holy Spirit’s help, to live this verse, whether at church (working, singing and volunteering in the choir and as our former librarian) or in her other jobs in the community (usher for MLSE and her one person SES Publishing & Services business.)
