Jed McGuire
Lead Pastor
Over the past decade + my experiences and prompting from God have led me to become the Lead Pastor of Canvas Church.
I grew up as a PK (pastor’s kid) in Northern MN, before spending some time in South Central IA after college where I attended North Central University in Minneapolis.
Eventually I moved back to MN in 2014. I have an amazing family including my wife Sheila, and 2 kiddos. Since moving back to MN I completed a M.Ed. in teaching and I have been working with students, the local church and schools.
I am passionate about seeing lives transformed when they encounter and recognize daily what Christ has done for them.
Every day is a gift and I choose to live it to the fullest.
