Cole Isaac Adrian & Michelle Adrian
CO-ChairS
Cole and Michelle met in the worship program at Boyce College. Both set on church planting, they planted a church and did ministry vocationally for the last 5 years.
After reaching the depths of despair in nearly every part of their lives, Cole and Michelle were brought to the end of theirselves. God met them there, revealed His presence in their suffering, bringing healing to their family, and burdening them for others in similar situations.
With the vision to reach those seeking sanctuary amidst the storms of life, they went on their first tour across BC and received clear affirmation that missional artistry is the direction that the Lord was leading them in.
They currently reside in North Vancouver and have two kids. Cole works for Southwest Contracting, Michelle spends her days with the kids, and they enjoy spending almost all of their free-time going on adventures as a family.
