Monte Harrop
Lead Pastor
Monte moved back to Williams Lake in March of 2025. Born and raised in Williams Lake, shortly after graduating from Summit Pacific college I moved to Quesnel BC. I ministered in Quesnel for just short of 20 years before feeling the call to return back to Williams Lake and Calvary Church. I am excited to be “home” and join in with what God is doing in the city and surrounding Cariboo/Chilcoton area. My heart is to see people find their identities in Christ and step into the calling God has placed on all our lives. When not at the church you will likely find me enjoying one of my many hobbies; fishing, woodworking, motorcycling or playing games with friends.

Brad Lindhout
Associate Pastor
Brad was brought on staff at end of May 2022 along with his wife Daphne. I am originally from Chilliwack, BC and went to Bible College at Summit Pacific College in Abbotsford. I have spent many years volunteering in various Youth Ministries and I have a heart to see student's lives changed when they invite Jesus into it. I am a bit of a Bible-nerd, I love the scriptures and being able to communicate them to people. I enjoy good food, golfing and fishing (although I am not very good at the last two). I believe God has a plan for the city of Williams Lake and I am excited to be able to see it unfold.

Daphne Lindhout
Children's Pastor
Originally from Ontario, I felt called into ministry so came out to beautiful BC for Bible College. After meeting my husband, I decided to stay in BC and we moved up to Williams Lake in 2022 where we start working at Calvary Church. I've been volunteering and working with various kids ministries for over 15 years. I have one beautiful son who I love playing with. My hobbies include, knitting, baking and making spreadsheets. I'm excited to see what God has in store for Williams Lake!

Cher Sytsma
Office Administrator
I am a long-time resident of Williams Lake. My husband and I started attending Calvary Church in 1999, right before our first son was born. We have loved making Calvary our home church and have raised our 3 boys here. I've been married 29 years, have 3 sons, 2 daughters in law and soon to be 2 grandbabies! We all love Williams Lake and the surrounding area for camping, fishing, hunting, snowmobiling, and dirt biking. Personally, I love to kayak, paddleboard, camp, listen to the birds, hang out with my adult kids and my husband. I also crochet and love to color and paint. I LOVE music & leading worship here at Calvary Church. I am very excited to be serving Calvary Church and our community as the Office Administrator. Come on in and say hi, and let me know how we can best serve you!
