Jed & Sheila McGuire

Lead Pastor

Over the past decade, my experiences and guidance from God have led me to become the Lead Pastor of Canvas Church. I grew up as a pastor's kid (PK) in Northern Minnesota before spending some time in South Central Iowa after college, where I attended North Central University in Minneapolis.

In 2014, I moved back to Minnesota. I have an amazing family, including my wife, Sheila, and our three children. Since returning to Minnesota, I have completed a Master of Education in teaching and have been working with students, as well as with the local church and schools.

I am passionate about witnessing lives transformed as people encounter and recognize daily what Christ has done for them. Every day is a gift, and I choose to live it to the fullest.

Grace Kadlec

Youth Pastor & Young Adults

I graduated from North Central University in April 2022 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Pastoral Studies. During college, I volunteered, interned, and worked as a Youth Administrative Assistant at Cedar Valley Church in Bloomington, Minnesota.

In October 2023, I married my husband, Josh, and together we have enjoyed making Northfield our home. Since moving to Northfield and joining the team at Canvas Church in October 2022, I have become more involved in the community by serving as a substitute teacher in the Northfield Public Schools district and as a board member for Cornerstone Academy.

I am passionate about investing in the next generation and helping students grow in their faith, build meaningful relationships, and discover how God is working in their lives. I am grateful for the opportunity to serve the students and families of Canvas YTH and the Northfield community.
