Church Leadership

God has a plan for us as we grow together in Him


On March 19, 2023, Moose Jaw Baptist Church held a special business meeting to vote in Joe Hudson as Senior Pastor of the church. With a unanimous decision to bring Pastor Hudson as our new Senior Pastor, we praise the LORD for bringing this godly servant to shepherd our church family.

As we move forward, please be in prayer for Pastor Joe & his family and our church as we take these next steps in our walk with Christ, seeking His will in unity, in worship, and in grace.

Jon Oliveros

Born in the Philippines but raised in Guam, Jon met Heather (born in Michigan but raised in Moose Jaw) as teachers in the same school where Jon graduated from and got married years later. After moving back to Saskatchewan in 2010, Jon and Heather have been involved with various ministries of Moose Jaw Baptist Church and currently work at a school in town. They have two boys, Nolan and Marcus. “I grew up in a Christian home, attended a Christian school, and even went on mission trips to hand out the Gospel. I realized I was missing Christ in my heart. I made a profession of faith at a young age, but it was to please my mom and teacher at the time. Later, hearing a message from an evangelist that it is GOD Who saves you not people made me recognize my need of Saviour.”

What Can I Do?

  1. Pray for powerful unity and oneness of spirit within the leadership (Amos 3:3; Matthew 18:19).

  2. Pray for God’s clear direction in meetings and discussions (Proverbs 14:12; Isaiah 55:8-9).

  3. Pray for the leadership to have God’s wisdom and to be Spirit-led (1 Corinthians 2:10-16)!

  4. Pray for the leadership to find God’s perfect will in God’s perfect time (Ephesians 5:17).

  5. Pray for the prevention of Satan’s influence in ministries. One of Satan’s wiles is deception.

  6. Pray for a powerful hedge of protection around pastor, his family, and our church families. Stay committed to serving, giving, and worshiping together. Uncertainty is disconcerting, but we have faith! Let’s continue to “grow together in Christ” through this time.

“For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.“

– Jeremiah 29:11

During times of transition, there is a tendency for people to step back and have a posture of “wait and see.” As a church, we will strive to instead say, “God, we know you are with us, and so we are going to keep moving forward and trust you to do amazing things in us and through us.”
