Roger Poirier, Administrator
Lori Foster, Secretary
Lori was born and raised in Niagara Falls, the third of four children born to Harold and Kathleen Mason. She grew up in a Christian home, and made a personal commitment to the Lord in her teen years at a youth rally. After High School, Lori went to Brock University and then worked at various jobs in the city. It was at youth group that she met her husband Marv and together they have been blessed with 4 wonderful children: Matthew, Eric, Emma and Lauren. She has worked at the church doing administrative duties and has loved every minute of serving the Lord in this way! Lori’s interests are centered around her family and her most precious times are doing things together – whether it is going to soccer games, hiking, picnicking, playing tennis or watching a good movie at home. Lori’s favourite Bible verse is found in Joshua 1:9, “Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.”
