Our Leadership

Meet our campus Pastor!

Parker Friesen joined the PAC team as part of our leadership development program as a Campus Pastor in Residence in the fall of 2023, and stepped into the Neepawa Campus Pastor role in 2024. 

Parker is married to Sarah, and together they love creating good conversation around good food. Parker is passionate about seeing people come alive as they encounter Jesus. You can usually find him reading a book next to a nice cup of coffee, or praying ceaselessly that the Seattle Mariners win a World Series.

Payden Besiata - Assistant Pastor (Family Ministries)

Payden & her husband Caleb joined the PAC Pastor in Residency Program in the summer of 2022. Payden now serves as an Assistant Pastor at Neepawa Campus, focusing her time creating safe spaces for kids, teens, (and their grown-ups!) to experience the good news of Jesus.  

If you’re looking for Payden outside of office hours, you can usually find her hunting for treasure at the local Thrift Store, playing at the park with her son, or tagging along on one of Caleb’s fishing adventures (usually with an iced coffee in hand).

Caleb Besiata - Assistant Pastor (Community and Outreach)

Caleb & his wife Payden joined the PAC Pastor in Residency Program in the summer of 2022. Caleb now serves as an Assistant Pastor at Neepawa Campus, focusing his time connecting our church to the broader community of Neepawa.  

When Caleb is not on the clock, he can most often be found feeding his fishing hobby. From open water to ice fishing, Caleb will never say no to a fishing adventure - especially if his wife & son are tagging along!
