The National Board of Directors for the Foursquare Gospel Church of Canada has
selected BARRY BUZZA to become President of the denomination, effective July 1,
2007. He will be succeeding Tim Peterson who has served as President since 1992.
Currently, there are fifty-five chartered Foursquare churches and ten newly
planted congregations across Canada
Barry Buzza and his wife, Susan, live in Coquitlam, BC. Reverend Buzza pastors
the denomination’s largest congregation in a two-campus setting called Northside
Foursquare Church. Their children and grandchildren are all actively involved at
Northside.
As a pastor, Reverend Buzza has authored fifteen books on practical and
theological subjects. The publications have been designed to serve as resources
for the members of Northside Church to use in their personal and collective
development. Once the theme of a book is applied in real-life experience, it
then becomes available for general marketing.
Three years ago Barry Buzza became the first individual to receive the honorary
Doctor of Divinity Degree from the denomination’s Pacific Life Bible College.
Although the college has had the power to grant such degrees, Reverend Buzza’s
outstanding achievements as a church planter, pastor, author and college-level
instructor merited the granting of the initial Doctoral Degree to him.
