Scott would say he would love to tell you all the wonderful things about himself, concluding that the only thing that makes any difference is that God has chosen him to be His. He knows that just a look internally reveals that life is a foolish adventure without knowing Christ (Philippians 3:7-9)- the rest is of little consequence. Scott’s first degree was in auto mechanics (which is why he is now a counsellor). He and his family came from the Chicagoland area to Welland in 2017 and are glad to be in Canada. He enjoys trying to play the cello and dabble in film photography. Scott loves to share the experiences of how Christ has and continues to heal and transform him in this frustrating world.

After completing high school Allison was unsure of what to do with her life, but her deep love of talking with and listening to people as well as her passion for her local church lead her to get involved with volunteer work at her church-anything from helping in the nursery on a Sunday morning, to leading a Life group, leading Bible studies, and serving on a church board. During that time, she heard about CCEF and worked on completing the three counselling certificate programs offered there. She is known to say that CCEF changed her life and her faith. Allison started to work as a biblical counsellor at Elisha House in 2016, counselling individuals, families and leading groups, before joining the team at Insight in 2023. Since then, she and her husband have been wondrously blessed with three children. Allison still enjoys being involved at her church as much as her time and energy allows. She enjoys deep and meaningful conversations with people, the occasional competitive sport, and getting lost in a good book or Netflix series.

Eleanor graduated from George Brown College’s Dental Assisting Program but quickly discovered that what she valued most about dentistry was the meaningful relationships she formed with her oral cancer patients and the opportunity to offer them support during difficult seasons. While raising her six children, God placed a deep desire on her heart to grow in her knowledge of Him. She began studying with CCEF and earned her Certificate in Biblical Counselling. With a passion to walk alongside those who are hurting and to comfort others with the same comfort she has received (2 Corinthians 1:4), Eleanor went on to pursue a Master of Arts in Counseling at Westminster Theological Seminary. Eleanor lives in the Niagara region and enjoys summer days by the lake, cooking, and writing. She treasures spending time with friends, family, and her grandchildren—whether playing games, sharing conversations, or laughing together, usually with a good cup of coffee in hand.
