Stephen Thompson has been the minister of St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church in Montague for the last 6 years. When Stephen was 16 years old, he lived on the streets of Toronto as a homeless youth. At that time he was a drug addicted "street kid" whose life was going nowhere, until he had an encounter with God that completely changed him and sent him on a different path. Stephen has now been married to his wife, Carolyn, for 22 years and together they have four children, Mark (18), Sarah (16), David (13) and Jason (10). Stephen loves sharing his story with others and speaking of the incredible manner of which God can transform one’s life.
