I was saved through faith in Jesus Christ at the age of 15. I had the blessing of being raised by Christian parents but, it was at the age of 15 that I asked Jesus into my heart and entered into new life as a disciple of Jesus. While studying at university, I married Leona, whom I had met through church, and we were later blessed with three children. After high school and university, I began what would become a 20-year career in the media, working as a newspaper journalist.  I loved working in newspapers and had no intention of going into pastoral ministry. But from the early 2000s, I began to feel God’s call to study His Word at Bible college and dip my toe in preaching. I started to feel an irresistible call into pastoral ministry and, after having spent some years chipping away at a Bachelor of Theology, I was called to serve as pastor at Grace Presbyterian Church Morayfield in 2014. In late 2020, I was asked to consider a call to serve as pastor at Westminster Presbyterian Church Belconnen (a sister church of Grace Morayfield). After much thought and prayer and with Leona’s support, I accepted the call and began serving as a pastor at WPC Belconnen in April 2021. Following a health scare at Christmas 2022, we moved back to our hometown of Woombye, and I began working as a pastor at Grace Christian Church Buderim. This was an unplanned but delightful return to the church of my childhood. I was 12 years old when my family was one of the founding families of Grace Christian Church Buderim, which was initially led by Pastor Sam Larsen. After spending 20 years in media, being set aside to preach and teach God’s Word and proclaim the good news of salvation for all who believe in Jesus Christ has been an ongoing source of joy. The more I study God’s Word, the more I am amazed at and in awe of the beauty and grace of our Lord Jesus Christ and the truth and divine wisdom of His Word to us. Serving at Grace Christian Church Buderim has been a great joy. We warmly invite you to come along to our worship services or midweek ministries and join us as a church family as we follow Jesus together.
