Thanks for connecting with us! My name is Chris Maclure and I serve as the Senior Pastor here at Brightview. I am married to Myrna and we have three beautiful girls – Kaylie (21), Janaya (19), and Tianna (17).
After working as a Junior High science teacher for three years, followed by five years with an African mission agency, I sensed God leading me to serve as a pastor. I completed my graduate studies in Langley, BC and came to Brightview in 2011. Through this journey, God has been teaching me what it means to be a genuine follower of Jesus; what it means to be a person restored in Christ, uniquely equipped to serve God’s purposes in the world.
Brightview Church is a community of people walking that same road together. We are discovering what true forgiveness in Christ is and what it means to live in covenant community with one another. We seek to walk and serve faithfully in our broken world as a people who have nothing to lose.
You are invited to come with us. We are passionate about glorifying God’s name and leading people to experience a mature and fulling relationship with Jesus Christ. Regardless of your past experiences or present circumstances, you are welcome here. We look forward to meeting you.

Hi, I am Vincent Hunter, the associate pastor here at Brightview
A little about me, I am married to my amazing wife, Vanessa, and we have recently added to our family our beautiful son, Everett, who has been one of the greatest blessings God has given us.
I have felt the call of God early in my life to disciple and train the next generation. I have worked at summer camps for years, sharing the Gospel and showing the love of Christ to kids from all demographics. I then became the youth pastor at my local church, growing in my pastoral skills and learning what it means to serve God vocationally. And recently, I have made the switch to come to Brightview and serve on the pastoral team here.
I am passionate about seeing young people find their hope and identity in Christ. I have seen the transformative work of the Gospel firsthand, how an encounter with Jesus can bring such powerful change in a person’s life. I am excited to see what God is going to do in our community and thankful that he allows us to be part of his redemptive work.
