Pastors, Elders & Staff

Greg Nicholson

Lead Pastor / Elder

He graduated from Maritime Christian College in 1983. He and his wife Pat have three adult daughters, three sons-in-law and a grandson and a granddaughter. He enjoys looking after his family, hockey, golf, (and pretty well every other sport), reading John Grisham novels, and doing home renovations. His faithfulness is evident in cheering for the Toronto Maple Leafs for the past 55 years.

James Stevenson

Associate Pastor / Elder

James has been an Associate Pastor at HCC since March 2010. He's passionate about seeing a church that is both reaching the lost and growing deeper in faith. James grew up on P.E.I. and received a BA of Bible from Maritime Christian College in 2009. In 2016 James received a Master of Arts (Religion) in Pastoral Leadership degree at MCC. He and his wife Shannon, have a son and a daughter. James hopes to see the Toronto Maple Leafs hoist the Stanley Cup in his lifetime.
