Coquitlam Presbyterian Church Staff

Graeme joined the CPC team as Lead Pastor in August 2009. He and his beautiful bride, Karen, have three children: Joel, Charis, and Hannah. Graeme and Karen have a daily passion to enjoy God through relationships. Graeme comes to CPC with a strong desire to preach and teach in ways that make the Bible understandable and accessible to everyone. "I don't think we should have to choose between preaching to people who are new to church or preaching to mature believers. I believe that the Word of God is active and relevant and has the power to speak directly to the hearts of everyone gathered - church veteran and rookie alike." Graeme's heart for ministry here is that we would increasingly become an irresistible community of people who are living out the vital message of Jesus Christ in relevant and practical ways to a hurting city and world. Graeme came to CPC after serving in church ministry for 3.5 years in Atlanta, Georgia and, most recently, for nine years in Ontario. In his spare time, he enjoys running and golf (just not at the same time).

Lori has been the Worship Director at Coquitlam Presbyterian Church since May 1998. "It's my desire to see people grow in their knowledge of God so that we can worship Him more fully. It's my prayer that Sunday mornings will be a time that people can come and meet with God, experience Him and hear from Him through every part of the service."

Lori originally comes from Saskatchewan where she received a BA in Music and BA in Counselling at Briercrest Bible College. She and her husband, Quinn, have two girls: Mikayla and Emma.

Tracy started volunteering in Kids Ministry in 2002 as a leader in Pioneer Club, which later led to leadership opportunities in Kids Church on Sunday mornings.  Her passion for quality Christian Education for children and a desire to teach with the end in mind recently led her to a position as Director of Youth Ministry at CPC.  

"Playing a part in the spiritual development of these amazing teens has been incredibly gratifying.  We have some of the best teens in the Tri-City area in our youth group and it's such a pleasure to see them grow in their learning of what it means to live in Christ. One of the great rewards is when they start inviting their friends to be part of what they're experiencing."

Meghan Adrian began as a volunteer in CPC's nursery and Kids Church and was hired as the Director of Children's Ministry in September of 2010. While she loves Bible stories, funny puppets and snack time she is even more passionate about the healthy, Christ-centered relationships that are flourishing between children and their parents and teachers. When children experience unconditional love and acceptance from the adults in their lives, they get a glimpse of what it means to be loved by God. She is committed to surrounding CPC's children with loving Christians who give them a tangible example of the heart of God.

Meghan is originally from Illinois. She is married to her High-School sweetheart and has two young sons.
