Our Church Team
Megan Webb
Lead Pastor
Megan has been married since 2005 and is a proud mom to three children—Liam, Sawyer, and Isla. Since moving to Chilliwack in 2012, she has felt a deep love from God for the city and its people. In 2015, Megan sensed a call into ministry—a journey she never expected would lead to pastoral leadership. Her heart is to serve and follow the leadings of the Spirit, trusting that even small steps of obedience matter. Megan is passionate about seeing God’s kingdom come on earth as it is in heaven. Her deepest desire is to know God and encounter Him daily. She has experienced the transforming power of God’s love in her own life and believes that same power is available to everyone. Her hope is for all people to know God and encounter His love.

Vern and Sue Tompke
Founding Pastor
If you’ve never met Vern and Sue Tompke, the three things you need to know about them is that they are passionate about God, passionate about their marriage and passionate about their family. Everything in their lives flows of these things: Gifted teachers, and abundantly artistic.
Vern and Susan met at UBC where they earned their degrees in Teaching and Teaching via Business. While they began working in the school system, over time God took them from teaching in the classroom to teaching in their home and in the Church. Vern began working as the Associate Pastor at the Penticton Vineyard in 1991.
In 1996 Vern and Sue were commissioned by the Penticton Vineyard to plant a Church in Chillwack, BC. Since 1996, the Chilliwack Vineyard has grown into a thriving part of Chilliwack including the addition of the Vineyard Community Centre in July of 2016.
Whether teaching about the heart of God on Sunday morning, serving in the community, or helping men in recovery, Vern is passionate about extending the grace of God into peoples lives. Susan is currently a teacher in the public school system and is passionate about helping immigrant kids integrate into their new community.
