Assistant Ministers
Lionel Windsor
Lionel joined us in 2013 as an assistant minister. Lionel became a Christian in Year 6 after hearing about Jesus from primary school Scripture (SRE) teachers. He’s been a very-part-time jazz piano player in North-West Sydney, an electrical engineer at a solar energy research facility in Botany, a minister at an Anglican church in Wollongong, and most recently a New Testament doctoral researcher at Durham University, UK.

Ministry Apprentice
Claire Massey
Claire has been a member of our church for several years. After gaining a 1st class honours degree in engineering, Claire worked out that building relationships is more important than building power stations. She is taking 2 years to work with us as a ministry apprentice under the MTS scheme as a way of checking out if full-time Christian ministry is for her.
Claire works with our young teenagers, and attends our 5pm church service.

Churchwardens
Mark Edmonds, Grant Millard and Alex Wilkins are three elected parishioners who fill an important role. They are responsible for managing the finances and buildings of our church and assist the ministry team in many ways.
Churchwardens are elected (2) and appointed (1) at the church’s annual business meeting.
Sue Whitehead is the bookkeeper, who manages our church accounting functions for the wardens.
Volunteers
Our church could not function without the help of all the members who volunteer to do many things. These include teaching the Bible in the local primary school, staffing the church office, cleaning the church building, maintaining the buildings and grounds, serving in kids church and the creche by introducing kids to Jesus Christ.
