Leadership – Pastor Kevin Drudge

Our family was involved in the life and ministry of Covenant for many years before I was called to the pastorate, beginning January 1, 2020. Previously I served in pastoral roles in several churches, both in Southern Manitoba and in Markham Ontario, my hometown. In addition to pastoral ministry, I have considerable experience as a woodworker and cabinet-maker, industries I have worked in at several locations as well (earning the title of “cabinet minister” in some circles!)

For formal education, I am a graduate of Canadian Mennonite Bible College (BTh 1990), University of Winnipeg (BA 1991) and Associated Mennonite Biblical Seminary (MDiv 2005).  On-the-ground learning has included a study tour to Israel/Palestine in 1990, 10 months living in Loma Plata, Paraguay, and a sabbatical spent volunteering at Koinonia Partners in Georgia USA. Even more valuable learning has been found in keeping watch for the faithful presence and grace of God in daily life, right here in Winkler MB.

The Covenant Church congregation is a wonderful setting in which to worship God, explore following Jesus, and experience the love of God in the embrace and prayers of others. An added bonus is the potluck lunch every Sunday after the worship service! This is a congregation that loves to be together, and to welcome guests into our fellowship.
