Office of the Executive Director

Bill Taylor

Bill Taylor

Executive Director

Bill Taylor serves as the Executive Director of the Evangelical Free Church of Canada, providing visionary leadership and spiritual guidance to the greater EFCC family. He works to ensure that the ethos of the EFCC is in evidence within all of our churches and ministries. Bill is based at the EFCC Home Office in Langley, supporting the team there as it carries out the mission to see lives transformed by the power of the gospel. Even though he is based in Langley, Bill loves to get out of the office and enjoys travelling around Canada to speak. Especially if he can share hotel rooms with Dwight and Neil and their snoring.

Neil Bassingthwaighte

Neil Bassingthwaighte

ServeCanada Director (EFCC National Mission) & Interim Prayer Catalyst

As the National Mission Director (ServeCanada), Neil coordinates the mission efforts of the EFCC in evangelism, discipleship and church planting across Canada in cooperation with local EFCC churches and other kingdom-minded partner organizations. Neil also provides oversight to the National Mission Leadership Team as they implement new EFCC mission strategies and projects. Neil also functions, unofficially, as the office database of awful jokes.

Dwight Johnson

Dwight Johnson

Stewardship Catalyst

Dwight Johnson serves as the Stewardship Catalyst of the Evangelical Free Church of Canada, working with churches and individuals across the denomination to secure funding to cover the costs of running the denomination and to further its mission. In addition to both capital and now giving, he also works to support and develop activities that generate resources through longer term endowment funding. Dwight is based at the EFCC home office in Langley but travels extensively throughout western Canada where the vast majority of Evangelical Free churches exist. Dwight also supplies the office unsolicited puns in an unnecessary quantity.

Terry Kaufman

Terry Kaufman

Leadership Catalyst

In his role as Leadership Catalyst, it is both Terry’s role and his passion to work to move leadership forward within all areas of the EFCC — creating environments, opportunities, and resources to help and develop lay leaders, pastoral and ministry leaders, and missionaries. His burden is to create an environment of strong godly leaders who nurture leaders, for today and the future. Terry works out of his home office in Steinbach Manitoba, but in close partnership with the leadership team of the EFCC. As the resident Manitoban and telecommuter, Terry often finds himself at the tail end of an office joke; much to his surprise.

Kirby Thompson

Kirby Thompson

Executive Assistant

Kirby holds the responsibility for office support services as required by the Executive Director, the Board of Directors, and Board committees. In addition to planning the EFCC’s annual conferences, he ensures that EFCC documentation like credentialing and good standing for pastors is kept up-to-date, and he maintains a database of information regarding the entire association of EFCC churches. Without Kirby, the majority of personnel in the office of the Executive Director would be lost in the woods.

As the new Payroll & Benefits Administrator, she is now the new office favourite - twice a month. Without Laura, the entire organization would not get paid!

Laura also administrates the GRSP/GTFSA contributions for the EFCC. On top of all that, she still finds the time to shine on stage as her alter ego, actor-self, demands!
