Stephen and his wife Carol-Leah are recent additions to Grande Prairie. They moved here in 2017 to pastor the Oasis Fellowship. Stephen joined the team at Oliver’s soon after he moved, where he helps wherever he is needed including officiating at funerals and encouraging bereaved families. He has been an ordained minister since 1984 and has served several communities over the years in both Ontario and Alberta, as well as 4 years as Chaplain of a Middle School in Hong Kong. He is currently enrolled in Trinity Western University working on his Doctorate.

The Laing’s have three grown children who live in various parts of the country and they are waiting not-so patiently for grandchildren to join the family. For now, they have a 110 pound Labrador retriever that is filling in.

Stephen loves Grande Prairie and the outdoor activities it has to offer including hiking, hunting, and fly-fishing.
