Brian Doerksen
Also from Abbotsford, Doerksen has taught extensively on worship leading and
song writing. His qualifications are obvious, considering that he wrote
classics such as ‘Refiner’s Fire,’ ‘Faithful One,’ ‘Come Now is the Time to Worship,’ ‘Hope of the Nations’ and ‘Holy God.’ Featured on early Vineyard worship CDs, he now records with Integrity’s Hosanna Music. He is also a pastor at The Bridge church.
