Our Sunday School Teachers

Pastor Kehoe has been teaching the Bible for over 39 years in churches, Bible studies, and classroom settings.  He was saved in 1978 and started preparation for the Pastoral Ministry in 1980.  The Pastor has 5 earned college degrees up to the doctorate level.  He is a fervent student of the Bible and Theology, and believes in making the teachings of the Bible understandable on a practical level to be meaningful in our daily lives.  Pastor Kehoe strives to teach the Bible to help Christians become good stewards of the truth, and be trained to accomplish wonderful things in their service for the Lord.  The Adult Class consists of younger adults to seniors, and the variety of ages makes the class very special. 

Brenda has been part of Union Bible Church for over 20 years.  She was saved in 1996, and has been active in many aspects of the teaching ministry in the Church during Vacation Bible School, and assisting other Sunday School teachers when needed.  Brenda is part of the first graduation class of Union Bible Institute of Theology, where she earned a Bachelor of Theology degree in June 2016.  Brenda is a mother of 2 adult children, a grandmother of 3, and has been married for over 39 years.  Her desire is to help teens trust Christ as Savior, develop a powerful love for the Bible, and become strong Christians dedicated to telling others about Jesus Christ.  She brings a deep understanding and grasp of Bible doctrine to help teens find answers to their many varied questions concerning life.

Odette has been teaching at the Union Bible Church for over 30 years.  Raised in Switzerland, she began her search for truth and understanding during her teenage years.  She moved to Canada to begin a family as the wife of a farmer, and was graciously saved in a church service in 1979.  Odette is a busy grandmother, and the mother of 2 sons and 3 daughters.  She can speak 3 languages, and has a deep love for children, and a strong personal faith in her daily walk with God.  She strives to help her students find a saving personal relationship with Jesus Christ, and gain an solid understanding on why a Christian believes distinct truths.  As a teacher, she makes every attempt to help her students learn how to depend on God's Word, and use it to gain strength in making decisions and seeking guidance.  Odette desires to help her students to see that Jesus Christ wants to be their lifelong friend.
