Shane joined the Pioneer Pastoral Charge in August of 2022 and resigned in January 2023.
Alittle about Shane:  I was born in Saskatchewan and grew up in Maple Creek Sk before moving to Medicine Hat AB in 2010, where I attended grade 4-12. I graduated from Cresent Hights High School in 2019, then started at St.Andrews College and the University of Saskatchewan, in the Dual degree Program (B.Th and MDiv.) in Fall of 2019. I completed my Bachelors of theology with a minor in English May 2022. I am ahead in my Masters program and will be finished my MDiv in 20 months, a year ahead of planned.
I am a published author of a book called The “Gay” Christian, which I published in 2018 at age 17.
I grew up attending Cypress hills Bible camp in Cypress hills Sk, from age 5-13 and worked at for 3 of those years before getting kicked out for my sexuality and believing homosexuality isn’t a sin. This lead me to reaching out and becoming apart of Camp Shagabec a beautiful amazing United Church camp where I was welcomed and accepted with so much love. I have been apart of Camp Shagabec since and this year marks 8 years. I have been a counsellor, paid staff, and board member. I spend and dedicate my Summers to Camp ministry which I love and am so greatful for.
I am 21 years old, 2 Spirited, Indigenous of Cree/Métis heritage, Single but have an amazing loving Puppy named Luna.
Blessings,
Pastor Shane.
