Spencer Conway has been serving as one of the Pastors on staff at Rock Church Halifax since 2018. He works with Junior high, High school, and College-age students, as well as young professionals and families in their late twenties and early thirties.

His heart is to help people grow in their love of Jesus, His Church, and the world. He studied theology for three years at Acadia University, graduating in 2018 with a Bachelor of Theology.
