William Sloos, MTS in Pentecostal Studies - Graduate, 2010

William Sloos (MTS in Pentecostal Studies) is married to Renee. He is, as of Feb of this year, the senior pastor at Richmond Hill Pentecostal Church.
When 6 year old Will Sloos stepped out into the aisle to come to the front of the church to accept Jesus, his dad gave him the thumbs up.

When 17 year old Will Sloos stood in the gymnasium of the University of Waterloo, at a Western District Youth Convention, Jesus baptized him with the Spirit. It was at that moment the presence of God overwhelmed him and God called him to something greater.

So when he went to Bible College at EPBC, he did a 4 yr program in 3 yrs, because he didn’t want to waste time. God had called him.

He went to volunteer at Hi-way Pentecostal Church in Barrie as a youth worker. He determined to stay until they hired him. After one year, they did, and so he stayed for 7 more.

While serving as the pastor in Acton, he came to the conclusion that he needed to reconnect with his pentecostal roots, both historically and theologically.

So he came to Master’s Pentecostal Seminary @ Tyndale in 2007. And when Will heard me say in class that no one had bothered to look much at the history of our beginnings in Toronto, the Hebdens and the East End Mission, he decided to do something about it.

I am pleased to announce that Will’s original research into our beginnings in Toronto is being published in a future edition of Pneuma, a prestigious scholarly journal.
