Our Board

Brenda Downey

Brenda Downey moved to Fernie with her husband David in 1996.  She has been an active member of the church body since that time.  She enjoys spending time with her grandchildren and is looking forward to serving as a board member.

Carmen Weber

Carmen Weber saw how much her husband enjoyed serving on the board she thought she'd give it a try! Carmen enjoys singing on one of our worship teams, and organizing her 3 yr old son Duke's social calender. Her and Jamie also have an infant son, Texas, with another baby on the way.

Garth Gould-Hawke

Garth Gould-Hawke works as an electrician servicing mining machinery. Having served on the board at our sister church in Sparwood, Garth is on his “Elk Valley Board Tour,” as he is serving a three-year term on Mountainside’s board. We are pleased the Lord has brought his family our way!

Jesse Aarsen

Jesse serves with Snowboarders for Christ in Fernie and also helps out around the church with sound-system “teckie” stuff. When he isn’t busy snowboarding or serving as board chairman or mining engineering or hanging out with friends or drinking coffee or coaching volleyball or working on the ski hill or at Edge of the World or at bible study or playing baseball or napping, he is busy leading the leaders of Mountainside into the wonderful world of the iPhone! Then the congregation next and then the rest of Fernie...

Mary Shier

Mary Shier teaches at our local college. She loves skiing almost as much as she loves reviewing church policies and by-laws. We think that is what makes her such a great board member!

Michelle Nelson

Michelle Nelson is excited to serve on the board at Mountainside. “I am privileged to be a part of the board during these formative years of our church. I also get excited about working with numbers, problem solving, and hunting for deals.”
