Rev. Arnold Burns Bishop was a man driven by purpose!

In his early days as a truck driver in Toronto, he felt a calling for something greater. With courage, he gave up smoking and fully embraced his faith.

Inspired by a higher power, he relocated to the Barrie area in the 1950's, where he met the wonderful Rev. and Sister Graham who welcomed him into their family as their own son, providing him with love and support.

Throughout his faith journey, Rev. Bishop was fortunate to have remarkable mentors. While with the Grahams and at the Full Gospel Lighthouse, he obtained his ministerial license and became the Assistant Pastor.

His dedication culminated on November 27, 1993, when he was joyfully ordained through Emmanuel Fellowship!
