Apostle Terry and Pastor Fiona Noel

Pastor Fiona has served at the side of her husband Apostle Terry as a help meet and personal Intercessor for many years and in 1996 received a Scholarship to CFNI Dallas Texas to study and then went on to join her husband in Canada where she co-pastors the Saskatoon Full Gospel Church, where she has been serving the many areas of the ministry to the present day. Pastor Fiona’s passion has always been prayer which came about as a result of been delivered from a spirit of Fear and not knowing God as personal savior she was driven to an intimate place with the Lord. And has since travelled the nations sharing her personal experience of living a life of fear of man and growing up in a family where alcohol was abused and the father figure was the abuser. Growing up in a home where the authority figure was constantly abusing his family it resulted in her not knowing but she had opened a door to the spirit of Fear. She also takes a lot of preaching engagements and teaches and preaches to woman who have struggled with an inferior complex and live in bondage to Fear and how they can overcome and enjoy a personal triumph over Fear. Her life story and ministry has touched thousands of woman and she has seen many woman go through inner healing and total deliverance from the effects of bondage to Fear. She is currently the Prayer Pastor of the local Saskatoon Full Gospel Church and has provided oversight to the prayer initiatives of the network of ministries called Bridge Ministry International Inc. which she co-founded with her husband Apostle Terry about nine years ago.

Our vision is to fulfill the great commission to preach the gospel to the world. We currently support
missionaries sent out from our church to ‘at large’ missionary.
Short term mission teams are sent out internationally each year. Our primary emphasis for missionary outreach is in
South Africa where we preach and teach the word as well as ministering to the needs of children who have been orphaned due to AIDS. Plans are in place for an orphanage to be established in Durban, South Africa, for children affected by the AIDS virus.

Our goals are to love, disciple and mentor youth to prepare them for a God-centered life and effective ministry. We desire to help every young person grow personally and spiritually. We want this ministry to be more than just programs and events but to develop a real vision for global mission in our youth. We want to make a difference in the church and the community as well as in each young person’s life. Youth meeting are held every Friday at 7pm at the church for all youth from 13 years of age up to those in grade 12.

The vision of SFGC Children’s Ministry is that every CHILD would become an effective minister of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. We believe our children are not only the church of tomorrow but are an effective part of the church today. Five key areas are Praise/Worship (Psalm 8:2), Prayer (Joel 2:15-16), Scripture Memorization (Psalm 119:11), Bible Study (Mathew 22:29) and active ministry (1Timothy 4:12). Children can join us every Sunday morning for an exciting time exploring God’s word.

Our desire is to minister to young adults and to see them grow spiritually, discover their God given giftings and His plan for their lives. We want to see them develop a passion for Jesus and a desire to share the gospel with others. As a group and church we also have a heart to reach University and other students, including international students. We meet in weekly Bible Studies – Friday nights at 7:30. These include study of the word, discussion, prayer and fellowship. From time to time social evenings are also held to encourage evangelism and fellowship. Rides are available.

Ushers have an important role to play in church life; they are often the first person a new visitor will meet at church. It is therefore important that our ushers welcome our people and the “new face”. Ushers create an encouraging and loving environment for everyone to meet with and hear from God. A loving, smiling usher helps to make people feel welcome and wanted. The ushers also help with facilitating the smooth flow of services and assist with alter ministry. This is a vital ministry that serves the people and supports the work of the Elders and Leaders.

Relationships are very important, strengthening and knitting the body of Christ together. We need each other. If one suffers, the whole body suffers. The main thrust of our ministry is showing love to people around us. We try to minister to each other in times of need, bringing help, healing and encouragement. The elderly need to know God cares for them. We can support young couples by caring for their children while mom and dad have a much needed break and we can reach out to new people in our church.

God has told us in Acts to reach out to “Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and Samaria and to the end of the earth”. In response to this our church has a supportive, ministering relationship with several churches in Northern Saskatchewan such as North Battleford, Meadow Lake, Beauval, Green Lake and Ile-a-la-Crosse. During the summer, tend meetings are held at each of these places. The leaders organize teams for these meetings to drive the van and do the set up and tear down of the tent in addition to helping with ministry at the meetings.

In Psalm 127 we are told that children are a heritage from the Lord. Our goal is to held our children know who they are and whose they are in Christ. Children learn their foundation in life before the age of 5. The nursery ministry is an extension of what is happening in the Sunday adults’ service, so your child will hear the word, be prayed with and be taught to pray for themselves and to receive Christ as their Lord and Saviour. We also teach our children how to express their thanks, praise and worship to God.

Prayer is a very important emphasis of the church. In Luke 11 Jesus said, “ask and it will be given unto you”. All church activities and church families are bathed in prayer. Prayer was a very important part of the New Testament church in Acts and so it is for us. Corporate prayer takes place 30 minutes prior to Sunday services and there is also corporate prayer meeting every Wednesday from 1.00 pm – 3.—pm. Fasting is also encouraged from time to time. Prayer requests can be submitted via the church website or phoned into the church office.
