Originally from the UK, Paul and Liz Lapsley are the pastors of SLCC – The People Church.  In 2003 they came to Canada with their three girls.  We believe their passion for people, their heart to see God’s people take their place in His ventures and their willingness to learn to work and lead The People Church together, reflect the heart of God’s plans for this generation….

Together they spent years leading the young people in their home church and welcoming people into their lives as the norm and not the exception of Christian life.  During that time, Paul pioneered Walsall Street Teams, a charity focused on individuals trapped in the sex industry, and which continues to flourish today.  Not your conventional pastor, today Paul as the People Pastor operates a carpentry business, alongside his role as senior pastor.  Liz heads up the preaching team, and leads and continues to develop the central Small Group framework. Her experience in the UK in the field of trauma allowed her to co-teach counselling along with her work in Walsall Street Teams during the years in the UK.  Together they guide the journey at The People Church.
