Rev. Philip Kniesel

Phil is the lead pastor at Hope City Church in Edmonton, Alberta. Hope City is a multi-site, multi-service church that has experienced an amazing move of God over the past few years. They have a vision of reaching one per cent of Edmonton and are praying for and believing God for this. Phil is passionate about next gen leaders and reaching those far from Jesus. He also has the privilege of pouring into multiple lead pastors across our nation in a coaching/mentoring role. Phil has been pastoring for 28 years in the PAOC.

He is in his 26th year of marriage to his wife Marla, and together, they have two daughters. He is also an avid Oilers fan which has its ups and downs.
