Bruce Archer

Age: 49, but some days it feels like 69
Married 26 years to Kathy, three children, Jeff, Mandy, and Beth.  Woot!!

How long have you been at BCC?
I’ve been pastoring here now for over 11 years! Which I guess makes me the longest running pastor in BCC history.

What really gets you excited?
I am always amazed to see people growing in their relationship with God.  Seeing people who are learning to trust, love, persevere and serve just makes my day. 

I love to work with and develop leaders. Leadership is a big passion of mine and I really enjoy working with people to discover their own leadership styles and help them develop and use their abilities effectively.

What is your greatest indulgence?
New technology; I get excited, frustrated, and satisfied in the hours I get to spend figuring out something new.

How do you best relax?
Going for a walk, golfing, or going with Kathy (my wife) into the city with no big plans or agenda but just cruising.

What was your childhood ambition?
To be better than my twin brother at everything we did.

Favourite Movie?
Guardian - The motto "So that others may live" gets me every time.

What is your greatest accomplishment?
Just living life with Kathy, Jeff, Mandy, and Beth; I get such a sense of pride and fulfillment in just being with them, they are the greatest gift God could give me and are my most profound joy.
