Dom & Bev Ruso
|
Dom Ruso was Lead Pastor at Temple Baptist from 2012 until 2015. During the summer of 2015 Dom, Bev and their three boys made their way back to Quebec with a deep sense of God's call on their lives. After a time of discernment they found God confirming that they were to provide leadership to a new church family. The church officially began to meet in September 2016.
Their prayer is to see this church (www.theoneeighty.ca) flourish as a healthy church, re-engaging people with Jesus as he invites the into a new way of life. Dom's love for Quebec and its rich religious history continues to influence their thinking and leadership as well. |
