Leadership Team
Every church is different. Much of that difference has to do with the people who lead it and the people (like you) who call it 'home.
Our current leadership team includes:
TODD CANTELON: founding pastor/elder.
Todd Cantelon is founding pastor at THE WELL. He and his wife Nicole have been married thirteen years and, as you can see by the picture, have been pretty busy during that time bringing (L-R) Jordan (9) Zoe (2.5) Sarah (7) and Sam (5) into the World. Previously (2000-2006) Todd and Nicole planted Freechurch Toronto and before that started a 'youth church' in an Anglican context (1994-1998). Nicole is a certified fitness instructor and homeschools the kids while Todd works as a producer in film and television in addition to his role with THE WELL.
MIKE AND JESSICA DYMENT: Ministry Interns
Mike Dyment is currently serving as Worship Leader and Pastoral Assistant at THE WELL. He has been part of Todd and Niki's ministry work since he was 12 (way back in 1994). He has a MTS from Wycliffe Theological Seminary. Jessica is currently giving leadership to our children's program and assisting with administration while completing a post-graduate degree at George Brown College in advanced event planning.
CHRIS JONES: Vice President
Chris Jones, pictured with his wife Catherine, is an officer at THE WELL. This means that in the time it will take for us to surface Biblically qualified Elders at THE WELL (two to three years at least) Chris will act as Vice President of our charitable corporation to help steward and guide us from a strategic standpoint. Chris is currently project manager for a large housing development in Niagara-on-the-lake and President of '24-7 Prayer Canada'. Chris has an extensive Pastoral ministry background in addition to his strong business and entrepreneurial skills.
TORE STAUTLAND: Vice President
Tore Stautland, pictured with his wife Julie and their two girls (L-R) Trinity and Mercedes, is an officer at THE WELL. While we wait for God to surface Biblically qualified Elders Tore will act as a second Vice President of our charitable corporation. Tore will particularly be of assistance with the financial side of things as his background as a very successful businessman is well suited to that side of things. Tore has an extensive ministry background as an Elder, youth minister, and third world social justice advocate. Tore and Todd have worked in partnership on the media side of things for ten years.
THE WELL is an independent non-denominational church and is self-governed according to Canadian law. That said our leadership team, and eventually our elders, work in submission to Jesus and--if required--must consult with the Wardens of St. George's Anglican Church Lowville (ANIC) for third party conflict resolution.
