Ryan began focusing all of his efforts on formalizing a skateboard ministry and working with YFC in November 2019.  As Ryan pursued support from the community, God’s plan began to take a surprising shape. The initial vision of the ministry was in large part based on opening an indoor skateboard park but through countless conversations and prayer the building transformed into Community Centre.  A place called Antioch, that will feature an indoor skatepark, Youth Drop-in and marketplace. God has opened many doors and has made it clear that Ryan and his family have been called to create a multi-purpose space for the youth in the valley area. 

Tony & Janet have served with NCEM since 1991, beginning in Pelly Crossing, Yukon.  They now serve in Whitehorse, YT. In their life and ministry, they would love to see the following happen: (1) Many people truly understand Christ and His Word in a better, life-changing way; (2) Many, starting with themselves, healing from a hurtful past that is hindering growth and godly influence; (3) A local church (or churches) that is healthy and growing largely because of (1) and (2).
