of Divinity Degree in April 1990. He was ordained on May 27,
1990 and since that time has served the St. Anthony Pastoral
Charge, St. George’s Pastoral Charge, and the Twillingate
Pastoral Charge.
On June 23, 1990 he married Gail Penney, and over the next
few years they were blessed with three beautiful children:
Bethany, Joshua and Michaela.
Tragedy hit their family on February 24, 2003 with the
sudden death of their son Joshua. His death has had a major
impact on the family and on Brian’s ministry. However, that

dealing with family crises and grief management.
Brian and his family look forward to their new life in
Carbonear, getting to know the people and sharing in the
ministry of Bethany United Church.
