Tim Lukings

     Rev. Tim Lukings began ministry at the age of 29 following the development of a career in industrial accounting. Graduating from Eastern Pentecostal Bible College (now Master’s College and Seminary) with honours, he pastored 3 Pentecostal Assemblies of Canada churches over a period of 14 years, leading one through an extensive addition and renovation program and another through the construction of a new church facility. Following God’s leading in 1998, he founded Ancient Paths Restoration Ministries of Canada.

     With this ministry, he and his family travelled from British Columbia to Nova Scotia over the next number of years, ministering in churches, denominational camps, and community gatherings for spiritual awakening. In 2007 he was invited to assist the Canadian President of Elim Fellowship Canada by sharing leadership at his church in Brantford, Ontario. While enjoying that role, God led him to take the position of Lead Pastor at Emmanual Congregational Church in Ridgetown, Ontario in 2010. After 12 years in this role, Tim felt led to take on the position of Interim Lead Pastor at St. Paul’s DISCOVER LIFE Church in 2022 for a period of 18 months, followed by retirement.

     Tim’s deep love for this church family led him to accept every opportunity for pulpit supply when asked, eventually leading him to return as Interim Lead Pastor in September of 2025 for a minimum of 12 months. Pastor Tim feels blessed and honoured to have the opportunity to minister to the St. Paul’s family once again.
