Meet the Minister

In 2015 we came to WA to lead St Nicholas Minster, remembering to bring our three children, now adults and a surprising amount of stuff! We have greatly enjoyed building relationships not just with our own church family but more widely. We actively seek to partner with other Christians in the region to advance the ministry of Jesus that we share and delight in. Verity and I initiated Combined Churches Prayer gatherings which are now shared with us by other like-minded churches. We currrently co-chair Bunbury Christian Churches Together.

We have been greatly blessed through Elijah House Ministry and coordinate  training for EH in the Bunbury region. Both of us have served on the National Board. More information about Elijah House can be found here.

Verity and I really enjoy seeing people encounter Jesus and discover how much God our heavenly Father loves them. Our Alpha courses are one of the ways we do this. It is a privilege to support one another as we grow in being part of His family. That brings its challenges and we work on those together in community. 'Being Together' is a series of teachings that we aspire to live by as part of our understanding of community life. You can find the recording under 'Online Resources.'

Following Jesus is an ongoing daily choice and experience. As we encounter His ways, His voice and His teaching we meet blocks and the issues of our own past lives. 'Living Free' is the way we explore untangling this and with God's help becoming increasingly the people he sees us to be, our original design if you like. Links to this teaching can be found here 
Along the way, I write songs, compose music and continue to train in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu at Base MMA in Bunbury.
Verity trained and worked as a teacher and is helping us here with our small groups and discipleship courses. She also enjoys serving our youth and children.  Somehow she  manages to keep our family on track, including our young grandson!
