BIO

Garth & Liane MacKay celebrated 41 years years of marriage in June 2026 and were singing together a year previous to their wedding! Both were born and raised in Prince Edward Island, Canada's smallest province. One year prior to their marriage in June 1985, they began singing in numerous churches from various denominations throughout this beautiful island. Since that time, they have ministered to many congregations throughout New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and Ontario, and have led in worship gatherings in Maine and Pennsylvania, U.S.A. Several years ago, they had the special privilege of singing in Edinburgh, Scotland. In June 2022, after many years of full-time employment, Garth & Liane recently retired from their respective professions of teaching and dietetics. The sense that God is calling them to a travelling ministry is strong; they are confident that God will bless this new adventure above all that they can ask for or even imagine (Ephesians 3: 20).

Garth sang his first solo at age 5 and became full-time pianist in his local church at age 11. Liane also began singing in her early years. Actually, one of the things that Garth noticed, soon after meeting Liane was her love for gospel music. Both Garth & Liane were raised in Christian homes and became very active in their local congregations at early ages. Garth studied theology and pastoral counselling at Acadia Divinity College, completing two degrees there and was ordained into the Christian ministry in 2003 within the Canadian Baptists of Atlantic Canada (CBAC). They pastored in various churches in all three Maritime Provinces. Garth later completed doctoral studies, graduating from the University of Stirling, UK, in 2015. His dissertation was titled, “The Holiness Movement in the Canadian Maritime Region, 1880- 1920.” Before beginning their careers, Garth completed degrees in Arts and Education; Liane has a science degree in nutrition and completed her dietetic internship. In 2007, she graduated from the CBAC 3-year Lay Pastoral Training Program.

Garth and Liane offer a relaxed ministry style that includes both traditional and contemporary music. Their sincerity and passion for ministry to people of all ages, backgrounds and denominations has surpassed 4 decades (and counting)!
