Staff Members

Billy Richards – Senior Pastor

Pastor Billy is our Senior Pastor. He is a gifted communicator, and a licensed explosives expert. He has 2 great sons, and is married to Shelley, his lovely wife. When he’s not preaching he can be seen in a boat on one of the many lakes in Southwestern Ontario.

Roger Berg – Executive Associate Pastor

Roger Berg oversees administration here at Queensway. Roger loves to support a non-Toronto Maple Leafs team that plays out of Montreal (we won’t mention which one). He is also an avid golfer and loves to eat burgers and fries. When he’s not managing the daily operations here, he resides in Oakville with the love of his life, Jan. They have 2 grown children.

Gary Empey – Assistant Pastor

Gary comes to Queensway after serving at Master’s College & Seminary. He is in charge of our discipleship department here at the church. Gary’s lovely wife Marylka and two daughters are also a big part of his life and are involved in various aspects of life here at Queensway. We need to mention that Gary is an avid Argos fan, and has a wardrobe of over 50 Hawaiian shirts, all hand made, and imported from his travels abroad.

Tim Crooks – Minister of Youth

Tim and his lovely wife Heather have 2 fantastic kids. Tim oversees our Youth Ministries Department and has pastored in Owen Sound, Kanata, and Ottawa. Tim is also a die hard Toronto Maple Leafs fan and like the rest of the staff, loves eating at the Olive Garden. When he’s not at work, Tim likes to fish with his son, or go whitewater rafting.

Rich Bodnar – Technical Director

Rich takes care of the many “Behind the Scenes” things that make Queensway run. He is an avid rollercoaster enthusiast and loves hosting pyrotechnics displays, and playing with the latest tech gadgets. Rich oversees all the technical aspects of the church, our weekly television program “The Truth”, and productions such as the Toronto Passion Play.

Don Cuff – Minister of Seniors and Pastoral Care

Don Cuff is a man of many talents and he has a true shepherd’s heart. He oversees the Seniors group, newcomers class, and Visitation. When he’s not at work, Don has a passion for going to the Olive Garden in Buffalo with his wife Ida. Don also plays a disciple in the Toronto Passion Play to rave reviews – drawing on his experience of fish handling while growing up on the Rock.

Mike Read– Children’s Ministry Pastor

Mike and Mary have been married for the past 19 years and have 2 daughters and 1 son. Mike oversees our children’s ministry department. While he’s a great guy, Mike is a bit of a mystery when it comes to hockey loyalities, being both a Leafs fan and also a Habs fan – we know that’s just not possible! He is also an avid golfer (at the indoor glow in the dark golf centre) and loves to play guitar. Mike is a graduate of EPBC and also of George Brown College where he specialized in Culinary Management – a definite bonus for our church staff!

Karen Milley – Assistant Pastor

Karen has many responsibilities here at Queensway – Women’s Ministry, Prayer Ministry, Newcomers Class, Alpha and a bunch of other things, including keeping her fridge stocked with water, diet coke and chocolate bars for the rest of the staff to raid. Karen is happily married to Dwayne who keeps Karen technologically equipped to do her work at Gigabit Speed and helps her maintain a large collection of 80’s music on her pink ipod.
