Rev. John Shearouse
Teaching Elder

John Shearouse graduated in 1995 with the Master of Divinity degree from Greenville Presbyterian Theological Seminary, South Carolina.  As a former elder in the church pastored by Dr Jay Adams, John has received valuable training in the field of Christian counseling according to Biblical principles (`nouthetic').

On May 4, 1997, John was ordained a minister of the Associate Reformed Presbyterian Church (A.R.P.C.), a denomination that seeks to uphold the historic Presbyterian beliefs as expressed in the Westminster Confession and other literature handed down from our forefathers.

John and his family (wife Mary, children Elizabeth, Emily, Janet, James, Nathan, and Noah) live in nearby Timberlea, Nova Scotia.

Born in Summerside, PEI, David Alexander was converted in 1992 by the grace of God from Paganism to Christianity. While attending a local church in Halifax, meeting on the Dalhousie University campus, he met his future wife Gina. They married in 1997, and now reside in Dartmouth, with their three children Lauren (2000), Sarah (2002), and Andrew (2006).

Drawn to the Reformed Faith by the simplicity of worship, and its confessional standards, the Alexanders became members of Covenant Reformed Presbyterian Church in 1998, and Dave was ordained as a ruling elder in 1999.

A Mechanical Engineering Technology graduate from Cape Breton University, Sydney Nova Scotia, he has been employed with a local aerospace company since 1993. An avid fly fisherman since early years, he now enjoys touring the New Scotland countryside in the pursuit of Salmo Salar & Salmo Trutta.

Mr. Kevin Bigney
Ruling Elder

Kevin Bigney was born and raised near Truro, Nova Scotia. He moved to Halifax to attend University at Dalhousie where he eventually received a BA in English, after a few tortuous years. He currently resides in Shubenacadie with his wife Tracy and five tykes - Nathanael (1999), Erin (2001), Jesse (2005), Joanna (2007), and Jack (2009). He currently works in the hardwood refinishing industry, inhaling dust and fumes all day. Thankfully, he has few other dangerous habits.

Kevin and Tracy began attending Covenant Reformed regularly in 1997 and became members in February, 1999. After a long struggle with the doctrine of infant baptism, Nathanael was baptized in August, 2000 and they haven't looked back since. Kevin became an elder in May of 2003.

Andy Kubik was born and raised on the island of Cape Breton. He left the island to pursue academic adventure involving five years and three universities, finally graduating from St. Francis Xavier with a BSc in 1998, having gratefully accepted the Lord the previous year. He then moved to Halifax to be involved with a student ministry at Dalhousie University and exchanged his textbooks for a toolbox, starting A & A Floor Sanding which he operates today.

Andy became a member of Covenant Reformed Presbyterian in 1998, and a deacon in 2003. He has a wife, Danielle, and a quiver of seven - Thomas, Joseph, Madeleine, Isaac, Jacob, Abraham, and Faith. Andy enjoys family and fellowship.
