Gwynne Holder

Church Administrator

Gwynne has been on staff, as administrator, and attending at Mountain Creek South since January 2015.  She and her husband, Erik, have three adult sons, one daughter-in-law, and one grand-dog! Gwynne worked as a trainer in oil and gas before getting downsized in 2013.  A former teacher, she is a people person and loves finding out what makes them tick.  Gwynne strives to be Jesus' hands and feet by getting to know new people and seeing how she can make their lives better.  One way she does this is by being a companion to seniors in long-term care.  Shoot her an email to say "Hi!"

Carey Wegner

Leadership Team Chair 

Carey is slowly learning that God likes to put him in leadership roles where he (Carey) doesn’t feel qualified. He has been chair of our Leadership Team since 2020. Currently, his most frequent personal prayer (other than the Shema and the Lord’s Prayer) is based on Psalm 86:11 “Teach me, O YHWH, your way that I may walk in your truth. Give to me an undivided heart to fear your name.”

Carey is thankful to be living life and seeking God with Nancy, his wife and best friend. Since Carey sees the beauty of God in Math, he teaches high school students, slipping in life and character stories whenever he can. Carey loves gongs; 3 is not enough.

Bring any of these things up to her and she will talk for hours! Tyler and Vanessa have also recently grown their family with the birth of their first child Ronan!

Mark Fryer 

Leadership Team

Mark has been involved with MCCC since being baptized in 2021. After 48 years of denying God, Mark is now a witness to the Good News that we can be born again and experience the forgiveness, love and healing that comes from accepting Jesus Christ as our Lord & Saviour. Mark and his wife Cathy of 27 years have 2 daughters, a couple of cats and a dog. He loves to play all kinds of games and is involved with the ROC Youth Group.

Bob Rolfe

Leadership Team/Treasurer

Bob came to faith in 1987 at Canyon Creek (formerly South Calgary Christian Fellowship) where he, Stacha and their 2 sons worshipped. He served on the CCCF board and as treasurer there as well as the BGCA Board under 3 different District Ministers. He also served as Trustee for the BGCA Investment and Loan Fund. Bob and Stacha have 2 adult children, Robbie and Michael and 2 granddaughters, Violet and Eloise. Bob recently accepted the call to be Mountain Creek's next treasurer starting in January of 2025. Bob enjoys “playing at golf”, travelling  with Stacha and watching over his 2 granddaughters.“ My biggest concern/challenge is seeking ways on how we can effectively witness to a generation in North America who believe they “ have no need of God”.
