Peter Ralph - Lead Pastor
Peter along with his wife, Mandy, and three children Peter, Silas and Esther joined Rosewood Park Alliance Church in the summer of 2023. Peter spent his formative years in Regina before following God’s leading to pastor at several churches within the Alliance Canada in Saskatchewan, Manitoba, and Alberta; but he sees Saskatchewan as home. He and his family are thrilled to be back!
Peter enjoys spending his free time working on classic cars, watching rock ‘n’ roll documentaries, and generally being a friendly, people person. Peter can often be found with a cup of coffee in his hand and would be delighted to meet you.
Joel Cyr - Pastor of Connections
Joel has been attending Rosewood since 2012 when he and his wife Carolyn moved from Saskatoon. They both fell in love with the church and immediately got involved in the many ministries Rosewood has to offer. Joel started as the Pastor of Student Ministries in August of 2014. In 2019 he took on the role of Pastor of Connections focussing on Guest Services and Life Groups. He and Carolyn now have three wonderful kids, Ben, Elle, and Rae. Joel’s favourite hobbies are drinking coffee, making coffee, and looking at pictures of coffee. Oh, and he also likes travelling to new places...and trying the coffee.
Joanna Smith - Pastor of Worship & Youth
Joanna and her crew landed at Rosewood in the summer of 2023. When a chance to join the team popped up the following spring she just couldn't say no! Joanna grew up in the UK before God called her to full-time ministry in Canada, hanging out mostly in SK and MB. Alongside pastoral work, she has a background in music education and working with kids and teens with disabilities. Her posse includes hubby Chris, teenagers Jack, Harry, and Penny, plus two guinea pigs and the one and only Specs the dog.
Joanna loves escape rooms and finding the perfect cup of tea for every occasion. She enjoys sipping on earl grey while rescuing Zelda (again!) or reading a good book.
Dianna Penner- Office Administrator
Dianna was raised in Small town, Manitoba. In 2005 she moved to Regina and made her home here. She was introduced to Rosewood Park by a friend back in 2011, where God reached her heart in an impactful way. Dianna and her children, Ryan, Mia and Triston were quickly welcomed into the church, and jumped right into serving. In 2014 Dianna married the guitar shredding, Stephen Penner. God is working in her heart daily, cultivating love for God's people as well as a heart for those who don't know Jesus. Dianna loves decor, crafting, working with people and driving a school bus. NOT Coffee.
Carol Shellenberg- School of Music Director
Carol has enjoyed being a part of the family at Rosewood Park since she first came with her parents as a young teen. After receiving an education in music and faith at Ambrose University she was able to return to Regina and now is honoured to be a part of an amazing team, working to foster the love of music in the community. Outside of the classroom, Carol enjoys running, spending time with her husband and her two kids, playing extensive board games, and eating large quantities’ of peanut butter.
