About Us

Although our personal stories may not be incredibly unique, they are still evidence of God preparing us for this amazing future that He has for our family. Both Jenette and I were privileged to be raised in Christian homes. My upbringing in a church planter’s home certainly allowed me the privilege to be exposed to life and ministry in Vancouver from the very beginning. Jenette’s strong missions-focused church in Lakewood, Washington, placed a desire for the ministry in her heart at an early age and she surrendered to be a missionary at the age of twelve.

Though Jenette and I grew up within four hours of each other, it would take both of us moving to Florida in order for us to meet. It was during our freshman year at Pensacola Christian College that we met and started dating. It was also during our first year that I surrendered to God’s call to preach. After our second year, we both followed God’s leading to transfer to West Coast Baptist College. Following graduation in May of 2005, I took a position as Youth Director at Cornerstone Baptist Church in Fort Worth, Texas. Jenette and I were then married in December of 2005. The next three years were a wonderful time of growth and maturity. Yet, even though the ministry in Texas was going well, in March of 2008, we followed God’s open door to Vancouver, BC to serve at my home church, Greater Vancouver Baptist Church.

For over five and half years, we were involved in leading the youth ministry, church media as well as weekly discipleship. I have personally been blessed with many opportunities to preach and minister in Canada and the United States. During our time in Vancouver, we have been blessed with four sons: Maximus, Myles, Owen and Royal, as well as two adopted daughters, Linla and Linla.

In 2014, with the help of our sending church Greater Vancouver Baptist Church, we planted City Baptist Church in the Hastings Sunrise neighbourhood of Vancouver. The last years of ministry have been full of God’s wonderful work in the lives of many in our city as a growing, Bible teaching church has been established in our community. We look forward to what God has in the future for City Baptist and our family. Please pray for us, as we look to future expansion through multiple locations in the years ahead.

Because of Christ,

Paul & Jenette Conner
