GARY AND JANIS COLLETTE are both the Lead and Founding Pastors of Bread of Life Church.  After meeting and graduating from Zion Bible College (a.k.a. Northpoint Bible College) in 1991, this local Gardner boy married and replanted this Queens, NY girl in the town of Westminster.  29 years later and she still looking for “real” pizza.!   On May 31, 1992, they along with a committed team of people, began Bread of Life Church.   Over the years, they have had the privilege of raising an amazing son named Luke, 2 dogs, a cat and an incredible church family.    When they’re not doing what they love most (serving Jesus and His people), Gary enjoys working out, golf and biking with his “favorite wife”, while Janis loves photography, her guitar, Pastor Joel’s Chinese dumplings and any opportunity to laugh.   It is our hope in sharing some about us, that we have opportunity to learn more about you.

JOEL AND ANGIE DAHLSTROM serve as the Pastors of Worship (Angie) and Student Ministries & Media (Joel).   Angie also oversees our ACTIVATE Small Groups.  Joel and Angie first met as teenagers at a Youth Bible Camp.    What started as a “camp crush” turned into long distance dating, as they each pursued their college educations.   Joel studied Youth Ministry and Theology at Zion Bible College while Angie studied music at Valley Forge University.   Immediately after graduating they married and jumped right into ministry.  Over a decade later, they have three beautiful children, Aria, Colson, and Eisley.  Their “family” would expand again when they were adopted into what Angie calls an “incredible church family” including a crazy bunch of teenagers!  In his spare time Pastor Joel enjoys cooking, grilling, fishing, and tapping maple trees.  He’s really embraced New England small town living.    PG and Janis can attest to Joel’s mad cooking skills, although, it’s a fact that HER meatballs are the best around.  Something having to do with her being from NY…blah,blah, blah!.  Pastor Angie teaches music at a local school district and enjoys songwriting when she’s not preparing for Sunday worship services or spending time with her 3 amazing kiddos.
