THADDEUS MAHARAJ

Director of Media & Discipleship Classes

Born and raised in Trinidad, Thaddeus grew up in a Christian home and heard the Gospel from an early age. After many years of searching and questioning, God shone the light of the Gospel brightly into Thaddeus’ heart, and transformed him from dead in sin to alive in Christ! His formal training is in 3D Animation & Visual Effects and he worked for several years in the video game industry as a 3D Character Artist before leaving the industry to pursue a Masters of Theological Studies.

Thaddeus began attending Hope Bible Church Oakville in 2012 before becoming involved at Hope Church Toronto West. Here at Hope Church, Thaddeus has found bold, unapologetic preaching of the Word, and a church body with a commitment to worshipping God in true community and loving fellowship. He enjoys serving alongside like-minded, passionate, and caring brothers and sisters in Christ.

Thaddeus is passionate about discipleship in the local church and also enjoys combining his training in creative arts as well as apologetics and theological studies via his personal blog & podcast to glorify God and spread the Gospel. He is happily married to Kylie, and they both have a burning desire to glorify God in the pursuit of His Kingdom in making disciples of Christ with their family.
