Pastor Dan Rideout attended Northeast Christian College in Fredericton, N.B. from 1983-1985 (formally known as U.P.B.I.). While attending Bible College he felt a call on his life that would one day lead him to western Canada to plant a church. For him, that was the birth place of his dream.

 

Shortly after he felt his calling he was invited to assist in the church in Nanaimo, B.C where he met and married his wife Corenna. 

 

Dan Rideout became a licensed minister in 1986 and Corenna became a licensed minister in 2013.

 

Pastor Rideout has held various positions in the United Pentecostal Church of British Columbia organization as the Home Missions director, District Board member, and presently our district presbyter. However, his true passion at this time is to see the church and its members grow personally here in Abbotsford.

 

Corenna has obtained a certificate from the Institute of Soteric Counselling from Texas, and graduated from Purpose Institute in 2018. She was the secretary for the Ladies ministries of the United Pentecostal Church of British Columbia from 2003-2009 and is currently the district prayer coordinator. She enjoys her hobbies of piano playing and maintaining her 125 gallon aquarium. Her favourite pastime, hands down, is with any or all of her 4 grandchildren.
