Meet Our Pastor

Kevin Bishop

We moved here from Airdrie, AB in the Fall of 2023. I was born and raised in Kamloops, BC but have paternal roots in the Sault area. A lifelong Free Methodist, I have held many Associate Pastor positions (youth, worship, and kids) in western Canada. Hillside is my first Lead Pastor position (and yes, it feels strange to be a 50+ year old "rookie").

I love the Montreal Canadiens, Coca-Cola, and Pino's maple bacon donuts (there's a story behind that last one). Most of all, I love to come alongside people to help them love God and love each other.

You'll find Lorilee singing when she's not working from home (you'll probably even find her singing while she's working), Jackson getting his hands dirty in the auto shop at White Pines, and Oliver throwing a football around with his friends.

We are so blessed to call Sault Ste. Marie home and the people at Hillside FMC our family!

The "We Care" Committee
(officially known as the Pastor's Cabinet)

This awesome group of people are chosen from among the Hillside family for two main purposes:

  1. To care for the Pastor - They regularly check in on Pastor Kevin's spiritual/emotional health and pray for him.
  2. To care for the concerns of our Hillside family - They are available to field any questions or concerns you may have and ensure the matter is discussed with Pastor Kevin and/or the Board if needed.

They really do care about all who call Hillside FMC home and are always up for a chat!
