Garrett Schnitzler

Serve Team Coordinator

Garrett grew up right here in Kelowna. After finishing business school at Okanagan College, he spent some time living and working in the Lower Mainland before eventually finding his way back home. His career path has been a bit of a journey—ranging from selling firetrucks to working as a Realtor—and today he runs a small family business. Throughout all those different roles, his favorite part has always been the people God has brought into his life and the friendships he builds along the way.

In 2022, Garrett, his wife, Dorothy, and their three daughters felt the pull to move back to Kelowna. They were searching for a church that prioritized deep biblical teaching and a strong community for their family, which is exactly what they found at Praxis.

As our Serve Team Coordinator, Garrett loves hearing people’s stories and seeing how God is moving in their lives. He considers it a huge privilege to walk alongside our teams and witness the radical life change that the gospel brings. When he isn’t at the church or working, you can usually find him hiking and camping with his family or—very likely—on a local golf course, trying to shave a dozen or so strokes off his game.
