Meet our Team
Shaun Wick
Interim ServeBeyond Director
Shaun joined Home Office as EFCC President on October 1, 2025, but Shaun already knows the EFCC well, having served in many EFCC leadership capacities over the years: the Board of Directors (as Chair), Finance Committee, and Governance Committee. As one Board member said, Shaun has come “preloaded” for this role. Shaun deeply loves the EFCC; he has a compelling vision for its future, and demonstrates a strong commitment to prayer for the EFCC and to the ethos of the EFCC. Shaun had previously served for over 23 years as Lead Pastor at The Gospel Chapel Evangelical Free Church in Vanderhoof, BC. Shaun now serves as the interim ServeBeyond Director and will be assuming primary responsibilities and oversight of the ServeBeyond direction moving forward.
International Mission Committee (IMC)
The International Mission Committee (IMC) is a crucial part of the ServeBeyond team. As a committee of the EFCC Board of Directors, its primary responsibilities are to:
- give input into ServeBeyond’s budgeting process
- monitor our international work through the reports received from all personnel
- ensure that our projects and personnel are in compliance with our organisation’s established policies
- make policy recommendations to the EFCC Board of Directors.
EMMANUEL CHIWELE
IMC Chair
Pastor Emmanuel began his Pastoral Ministry in his native country of Zambia in 1985. Over the years, he has served at churches in Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Montana. He joined the pastoral staff of the Evangelical Free Church of Lac La Biche in June 2008. Pastor Emmanuel and his wife Janet have been blessed with four children: Tehillah, Tumelo, Rinnah and Latisha.
DOUG LESCHERT
IMC Member
Doug has served as a public accountant in Stettler, Alberta, for forty-seven years; fifteen of those have been with two of his sons and currently with all four of his children in their own firm. He has served on the board of the Erskine Evangelical Free Church in several capacities. For the past eight years, Doug has served on the IMC and has just recently stepped down as chairman. Doug loves country life with his wife, Candice, of forty-four years, and with his four grown children and thirteen grandchildren.
