Kim Stoesz

Lead Pastor
Tel: (204) 339-1691 ext. 3

Kim came to McIvor in the fall of 2018 as the Community Care Pastor and in April of 2024 she took on the role of Lead Pastor. Kim has been in pastoral ministry since graduating with her Master of Divinity degree in 2007. She has always had a deep love for the church and congregational ministry. In her role as Lead Pastor she leads the staff team, shares some of the preaching load and also oversees the caregiving needs of the church and officiates at funerals. 

Kim and her husband enjoy travelling together and time with their children and grandchildren. She also enjoys being creative and has recently taken up pottery and is making way too many coffee mugs. That’s not all bad as she enjoys a good cup of coffee and is happy whenever people in the congregation want to chat over a cup of coffee or tea.

Jonathan Klassen

Teaching Pastor
Tel: (204) 339-1691 ext. 5

Jon’s passion for the Church sparked as a young adult and sent him on a journey, first to Steinbach Bible College (where he met his wife, Lynette), then to Providence University College and Theological Seminary for his MDiv, and now here at McIvor as Teaching Pastor. 

Jon enjoys learning, contemplating and trying out ideas–especially theology, and most especially, Dietrich Bonhoeffer. Above all, Jon loves diving into deep study of Scripture to see the Word of God come alive in the life of the Church. Other interests include hiking, camping, and gardening (all improved by a cup of coffee somewhere in the process). Jon thinks he would probably be a pretty good landscape photographer if Lynette would let him use her camera (but she won’t).

Mikayla Schroeder

Pastor of Youth and Young Adults
Tel: (204) 339-1691 ext. 6

Mikayla enjoys ministry and began working at McIvor Church in 2021. She has a passion for biblical knowledge and theology, apologetics and learning about different beliefs.

Mikayla graduated from Canadian Mennonite University in 2023 with a double major in Bible and Theological Studies and Counselling. She works with the youth and young adults of the church and loves to share her passion of biblical literacy.

When Mikayla is not at the church, she enjoys being outdoors, hiking and camping. She also has several creative hobbies such as crafts, sewing and photography.

Mikayla is always excited to come to Sunday services to visit with congregants and also new people who come through the doors.

Colleen Epp

Office Administrator
Tel: (204) 339-1691 ext. 2

Colleen and her family have attended McIvor since 2005, participating in many aspects of church life. Currently one of the office administrators, she enjoys helping the church run from behind the scenes and welcoming visitors to the office with a fresh cup of coffee. Away from work, Colleen likes baking pies and buns, reading British mysteries and looking for ways to attract more birds to her yard.

Stephanie Kiouangou

Office Administrator
Tel: (204) 339-1691 ext. 2

Stephanie grew up calling McIvor home, until she moved to Québec to build relationships with and make Jesus known among the most unreached people group in North America, through Athletes in Action and then through the Christian Embassy of Canada. 

After 20 years in Québec growing in faith and love for the Church, gaining a deep appreciation for building bridges between cultures and a heart for worship, she and her family moved back to Winnipeg and re-engaged with McIvor. She loves worshipping Jesus, playing her guitar and seeing Him transform lives. She works part-time as one of the office administrators, in addition to her continued work with the Christian Embassy of Canada and being a mom to two beautiful girls!

Service Production Coordinator

Isaac has attended McIvor for most of his life. Besides working at McIvor as the Service Production Coordinator, he studies Business Administration at Red River College Polytechnic. In his spare time, Isaac seeks out opportunities to go canoeing, camping and fishing. He’s often heard playing guitar, and occasionally the harmonica.
