Deven became Berean's Lead Pastor in 2022, coming to us from London, Ontario, Canada. By God's grace, he had the privilege of fulfilling his calling in London, proclaiming the name of the resurrected Lord and caring for his people by helping them understand how the good news of Jesus impacts their everyday lives.

Deven has a Bachelor's Degree in Biblical Studies from Crandall University in New Brunswick, Canada, a Master's Degree in Theology from Acadia University in Nova Scotia, Canada, and a Ph.D. in New Testament from the University of Pretoria in Pretoria, South Africa.

He has published two books:

In his spare time, Deven enjoys hunting, fishing, working out, spending time with his wife and kids, summer sunshine, and a mediocre cup of black coffee.
