Supporting the leadership of our elders and serving alongside our volunteer ministry leaders, GBC employs several staff.

Daniel Andrade
Pastor/Elder
Dan serves as lead pastor of Guelph Bible Chapel. He was born in a former Portuguese colony in India, and moved to Brazil at three where he spent much of his childhood. He first heard the gospel at twelve, and was overwhelmed by God’s goodness and grace. He embarked then on the journey of following Jesus, and was formed in churches that instilled in him a deep love and trust for Scripture. Dan moved to Canada in his late teens.
In his mid-20’s the Lord used the writings of John Piper to call Dan to labour among the unreached in Africa. It was there he met his bride, Lindsay, who served under the same calling. Dan and Lindsay and their four children served in East and North Africa until 2018, when the Lord brought them back to Canada through a family medical crisis.
In the Lord’s Providence, the season that followed was one of healing and equipping through Heritage Seminary, from where Dan received a Master of Divinity degree. He was called to serve Guelph Bible Chapel as its pastor in 2023.
Dan is passionate about God’s Word, discipleship, prayer, and the gospel's spread among the nations. He's eager to see Christ's church grow into faithful and fruitful maturity through the empowering of the Holy Spirit, to the glory of God.
Pastor Dan also serves as an elder of the church.
Chris Timm
Pastor/Elder
​Chris has been a pastor at GBC since 2005.  He is an avid reader and writer who also enjoys physical fitness. Besides his ministry at GBC Chris has a passion for youth and so his mission field is serving as a high performance track and field coach. He is married to Jennifer and they have 5 children and 3 grandchildren. Chris also serves as an elder of the church and as ministry leader of the GBC youth.

Jamie Iles
​ Music Director
Jamie has been serving as part-time music director at GBC since summer 2023. He has a passion for leading the fellowship of God's people in joyful singing and proclamation of God's praise with all their hearts and minds. He is husband to Emily Iles and together they have two beautiful daughters. Jamie completed the Bachelor of Church Music program at Heritage College and has been active in teaching in the music program ever since. When not practicing piano or wrestling with his kids, Jamie enjoys keeping active whether going for a run, working in the yard, or working on house projects. 
Sharon Schneider
​Custodian
Sharon has been attending Guelph Bible Chapel since summer 1994. She has been on staff since 2006 after being trained by the former custodian Ellie Bowman (Sherman-Hess). Sharon also has a professional cleaning service in which she travels to client's homes. She has a passion for children's ministry and was involved in the Awana program as cubbies and sparks leader in the past at GBC. In her spare time, Sharon enjoys singing many styles of music including worship songs from the previous Sunday service. She loves to see a space that was once dusty and neglected become tidy and clean, this is her way of serving the Lord using her skills and her eye for detail.
