Blaine is a pastor, teacher, and theological leader with years of experience in church ministry, theological education, and Christian leadership.  Blaine has served in pastoral ministry since the mid-1990s, serving churches in both Canada and the United States. Most recently, he served as Senior Pastor at Trinity Baptist Church in Spokane, WA. Prior to that, he pastored churches in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan and has consistently focused on biblical preaching, spiritual formation, and equipping believers for faithful Christian living. ​

Born in Canada, Blaine and his wife Autumn were married in 1991 and later became naturalized citizens of the United States in 2010. Together they have three children and are deeply committed to family, faith, and service to the church. Their family’s ministry extends internationally, including the missionary work of their daughter Adrianna (Dee), her husband Courage, and their new son Excellence with Wycliffe/SIL in Jos, Nigeria. 

In addition to local church ministry, Blaine has taught undergraduate and graduate-level courses at Jos Evangelical Theological Seminary (JETS) in Nigeria. His teaching reflects a Biblicist approach that emphasizes the authority of Scripture, theological clarity, and pastoral application. 

In his spare time, Blaine enjoys hunting and fishing. A lifelong learner, Blaine holds a Bachelor of Arts in Bible, a Master of Arts in Pastoral Ministry, a Master of Divinity in Theology, and a Master of Arts in Theology. He also served as President of the Fellowship of Evangelical Bible Churches from 2010 to 2018.

Whether preaching, teaching, or mentoring leaders, Blaine’s ministry is marked by a deep commitment to Scripture, the gospel of Jesus Christ, and the spiritual growth of the church. ​
