Executive Administrator
Erinn comes from a long line of ministry and revival culture. Born and raised in central Canada, Erinn grew up in a home where the supernatural was normal, and faith was active and strong. In 2007, she attended Catch the Fire’s School of Ministry (formerly Toronto Airport Church – known for the Toronto Blessing). This led to a journey of healing and equipping that eventually brought her to Bethel School of Worship in 2011, followed by Bethel School of Supernatural Ministry, where she and Jay met. She’s done all three years at Bethel School of Supernatural Ministry. Erinn is passionate about emotional health, authentic worship, and building healthy family/community. When she’s not multitasking to the max as executive admin of several ministries/organizations, she can usually be found with her family at home or in nature, enjoying coffee and/or a good book.
