Our 2026 Summer Students

Olivia Bagnald

Hi, I’m Olivia! I’m currently completing the final year of my Bachelor of Commerce degree at Saint Mary’s University, majoring in Marketing.

Growing up in an interfaith household, I always felt it was important to explore my faith for myself. During high school, I felt drawn to know Christ more deeply. As I visited different churches and studied Scripture with various groups, I continued searching for a church community where I truly felt at home.

When I came to West End Baptist Church in December 2025, I was warmly welcomed and quickly felt connected to the church family. Since then, I have become involved with the Young Adults group, Thursday Bible Study, the Discipleship and Mission Team, and the Worship Team. I also enjoy serving through music and have worked professionally as a live sound technician in Halifax.

I love working with children and helping others grow in their faith. I’m excited for the opportunity to serve at West End this summer as the Youth Ministries Coordinator with Music, and I look forward to sharing Christ’s love with the children, youth, and families in our community.
