“For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things He planned for us long ago.” – Ephesians 2:10 (NLT)
Welcome! I am so glad you are here.
My name is Heidi Schaaf, and I serve as the Family Life Pastor at The Tab. I have the joy of overseeing our youth and children’s ministries, supporting families, organizing outreach events, and helping coordinate our incredible volunteers. Whether you are new to church or returning after some time away, my hope is that you find a place where you feel seen, supported, and encouraged.
I was born in Fernie, BC, but my family moved to Lethbridge when I was four—and it's been home ever since. I love this city and the people in it. It is where my faith came alive, where I met my husband Dwayne (we have been married since 2003), and where we have raised our three children. We now live in Coalhurst—just outside Lethbridge. Our oldest is a true miracle and a daily reminder of God’s faithfulness. Our younger two are currently pursuing post-secondary education, each with big dreams for the future.
My ministry journey began as a teen, through Arise Youth Community, Search retreats, and prayer groups. I learned to lead through peer ministry and continued until just before the birth of our first child. After stepping back for a season, God opened the door in 2011 when I began leading Epidemyc Youth through Streets Alive Mission. As time went on, we discerned that Streets Alive needed to focus more fully on their core mission—serving the homeless and those in recovery—and they graciously released the youth ministry into my care. In God’s timing, The Tab welcomed us in. What began as a step of faith grew into a new season of ministry and community.
One verse that continues to shape my heart is Ephesians 2:10. I believe every person is God’s masterpiece—uniquely created with purpose and full of potential. It is my passion to help people of all ages discover the good things God has planned for them—through discipleship, service, meaningful community, and the deep assurance that they belong.
If you are visiting The Tab for the first time, I would love to meet you. Whether you are looking for a place for your children, want to get more involved, or simply need someone to talk to—I’m here for you. Let us discover together what God has in store.
