Meet Darren Herbold, the New President of the C&MA Church of Canada

Reverend Darren Herbold has served The Alliance Canada for over 15 years. Part of his ministry has been in Thailand and Southeast Asia as international worker and regional developer. As the new president, he has a passion to see The Alliance Canada thrive as a Christ-centered, Spirit-empowered, and Mission-focused movement.

Rev. Darren Herbold was born on August 17, 1979. He is married to Naomi, and they have three children. In 2014, Rev. Herbold, and his wife, Naomi were sent as international workers to Thailand where they served for over eight years. In 2015, they were appointed as team leaders, and in 2019, as regional developers, providing leadership and oversight to the region. In the past four years, Rev. Herbold has also served on the Board of Directors.

With significant experience in entrepreneurial business, Rev. Herbold founded and directed an international charitable organization, For Freedom International, which focuses on anti-trafficking, community development, and gospel multiplication efforts in Southeast Asia.

Rev. Herbold graduated from Covenant Bible College in Strathmore, Alberta, Canada, with a Certificate in Christian Studies. He has a B.A. in Religion and Theology from the Taylor University College in Edmonton, Alberta, and a degree in Global Studies from Liberty University in the USA with high distinction.

Elected at the General Assembly on July 7, 2022, Rev. Herbold will serve a four-year term, starting August 1, 2022. He envisions to expand the fame of Jesus by adapting structures, systems, and strategies of The Alliance Canada to unleash the latent creative potential God has placed within us today while simultaneously preparing us for the challenges and opportunities of tomorrow.

Rev. Herbold and Naomi ask us to pray for their family as they move from Thailand to Toronto, Canada.
