Lead Pastor

Pastor Kevin & Shannon Fricker

Kevin and Shannon spent most of their pastoral career in the lower mainland in British Columbia.  They moved to Edmonton in 2002. After pastoring in church ministry for 11 years, Kevin and Shannon suffered a family tragedy. It launched them into a new direction to pursue a dream they shared for quite some time.The dream was to start a new church. Soon afterward, they became part of a formation team under the leadership of Ken Solbrekken.

City Centre Church began meeting in September of 2004 on the University of Alberta campus.  What once was a team of 12 people meeting weekly in a living room has turned into this flourishing church congregation.The church grew so quickly that it was evident that we would need to hire someone to give leadership. Pastor Kevin became a chaplain at the University of Alberta and took on the part-time position as pastor at City Centre Church. In its second year, the church growth required him to move full time to the role of Lead Pastor where he serves today.

Kevin and Shannon have four children - 3 boys and a girl (Kurtis, Kelsey, Kyle, and Kaden).  Between school, hockey, piano lessons, and the X-box, they are an active family. They have a passion for living life to its fullest and sharing that with others.

Kevin's passion is to speak to relevant issues from a very real perspective. His passion is to influence a generation to engage their faith in Jesus Christ into everyday life and challenge everyone to be REAL - it's a rawness of character many people enjoy.
