Lead Pastor

Pastor Prince Okechukwu

My wife, Dami, and I are passionate about Jesus and the building of His kingdom through prayer, evangelism, and community involvement. I am a passionate lover of God, with a deep desire to see people accept Jesus into their lives, experience the transformation on the inside through the ministry of the Holy Spirit and the renewal of their minds and be empowered to live for Jesus.

My passion and vision are to teach. and build God’s people with the undiluted word of God, ensuring that they are spiritually vibrant and societally relevant in their immediate context. I love connecting with people and tracing the faithfulness of God in their lives and experiences. I sincerely desire to come alongside God’s people and journey through life with them as a listening ear and discerning voice.

Worship Pastor

Pastor Michael Taylor

My purpose is to share God’s Word through the medium of music and art throughout the world. I want to help people worship Jesus Christ through an intimate relationship with God. I am excited about meeting new people and pointing them to Christ through music. My joy is to see others praising and worshiping God for who He is and for what He has done!

“I can do all this through him who gives me strength.”

Philippians 4:13 NIV

Care Pastor

Pastor Darlene Simpson

God has given me a heart of love and compassion, and I am privileged to share God’s love and a word of encouragement as I visit with those who are sick or shut-in, or just need to have a friendly visit. We are called to be God’s hands and feet extended, and IEC is like a family should be – a warm, loving network of people who truly care about each other.

“For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.”

Ephesians 2:10 NIV

Children's Pastor

Pastor Debbie Toker

As a Children’s Pastor, my main goal is to inspire believers of all ages to truly know and follow Christ with all their hearts and to get excited about His Word. I have a strong belief that God’s church will witness a powerful revival in this generation, and I am passionate about encouraging others to pray for this to happen. My favourite scripture reminds us that if we humble ourselves and seek God’s face, He will transform us and use us as instruments of change in our nation.

Youth Director

Sueann Green

My mission is simple: To make disciples! Throughout my life, I’ve seen the impact of being nurtured in faith—many here at IEC helped shape my foundation in Christ, and it’s this foundation that has kept me close to God right into my adult years. Now, I’m passionate about being there for young people, helping them choose Christ above all the distractions of this world.

I love teaching, and I love to laugh! I believe God has given me the right balance of patience, love, and creativity to connect with today’s younger generation. It’s truly a privilege to shepherd them in their walk with Christ.

As 1 Timothy 4:16 says: “Keep a close watch on how you live and on your teaching. Stay true to what is right for the sake of your own salvation and the salvation of those who hear you.” This reminds me that the way I live and teach not only affects my own faith but can also shape the faith of others.

It’s not just about guiding youth today—it’s about setting them on a path that leads to a lifetime of following Christ. I am honoured to be part of that journey with them!
