My birth name is Lee William Brainard. I am a Bible teacher and an author. The Bible is — by far — my favorite book. I read it in the original languages (Greek and Hebrew), various English translations, the German (usually the Elberfelder), and the Greek OT (the Septuagint). My areas of study include the biblical languages, eschatology (prophecy), apologetics, the major theological controversies, ancient history (with particular interest in ancient catastrophism), and electric universe cosmology.

Currently my wife, Nita, and I live in Harvey, ND, where I share in the ministry of the Word at Harvey Gospel Chapel. We have four children (Josiah, Noah, Ezra, and Lydia), all of whom are married. At the present time we have eighteen grandchildren.

I am a disciple, a follower of Jesus. Ideally, that should suffice. Sadly, however, we live in an era when Jesus’ name is associated with many serious errors and compromises. So for the sake of being transparent, I disclose to my audience that I fellowship in Open Brethren circles, that I regard myself as a conservative Evangelical first and Brethren second, and that I am not ashamed of the label “fundamentalist”—though some who wear it are obnoxious and petty—because this term simply means that a man is unwilling to compromise the fundamental doctrines of the faith, i.e.  a distinct Evangelical testimony.

Arnie Armstrong is a professor at Millar College of the Bible, where he has taught almost every subject over many years. He is an expert in both Greek and Hebrew, and has written several books and commentaries. His teaching has changed the lives of many, and his love of the scripture is quite contagious. Though he and his wife Sharon are often travelling abroad in their diverse teaching ministry, they have made FEMC their home. Over many years, we have witnessed their faithfulness to our Lord. 

Rob Mantle
Has been pastoring in Irricana Alberta for 20 years. 
What began as a bible study in his living room, has become Harvest the Word, Calvary Chapel Irricana.
His focus in ministry is in three main areas: 

​
1. That people would come to know, love and fear the Lord. 
2. That they would grow to trust and obey His word. 
3. That when we come before the Lord, people would have much to lay at His feet.

Dr. Gary Gilley has been pastoring at Southern View Chapel in Springfield, Illinois, since 1975.

He is the author of nine books: This Little Church Went to Market, This Little Church Stayed Home, ‘‘I Just Wanted More Land,’’ – Jabez, Is That You Lord?”, This Little Church Had None, Out of Formation, Growing in Christ, Social Justice, a Primer (e-book) and Christian Nationalism (e-book). He has also contributed to six other books: Reforming or Conforming, Biblical Sufficiency Applied, Practical Aspects of Pastoral Theology, Dispensationalism Tomorrow & Beyond, An Introduction to the New Covenant, and Fight the Good Fight.

Pastor Gilley is a frequent speaker at Bible conferences in America and internationally. He also writes the study paper, Think on These Things which examines important contemporary theological issues and trends, and publishes book reviews (about 1000 to date). He is a board member of Brazil Gospel Fellowship Mission and the Personal Freedom Outreach, and on the executive board of Ethnos360.

In addition, he is the Book Review Editor for the Journal of Dispensational Theology, and has two podcasts: “A Wonderful Day in the Lord” (a daily five-minute study of the Word designed to aid believers in starting their day with the Lord), and “The Shepherd’s Bookshelf” (a weekly broadcast devoted to reading and reviewing good books).

Pastor Gilley received his B.A. from Moody Bible Institute and his M.B.S. and Th.D. from Cambridge Graduate School.  He and his wife Marsha have two adult children, Ben and Brian, and six grandchildren.

Ron Stone, together with the dedicated support of his wife Tami, serves as pastor at Parkdale Grace Fellowship in Calgary, 
a church they helped plant as newly weds in 1995 and have pastored for 28 years since. Ron has a passion for the 
study and expositional teaching of the Word of God, which he has taught virtually from cover to cover during his 
years at Parkdale. Ron and Tami are blessed with three adult children, Katie, Elizabeth and Nathaniel.
