Our Team
Our community is held together by a committed group of people that serve on the Church Council, responsible for the policy, direction and major decisions on behalf of the community.
Church Council is supported by Ministry Teams who work with the minister and staff to connect with the wider community.

As an expression of our Core Values and Spirituality, we seek to nurture and live a Gospel Faith formed by the inclusive love of Jesus. Support for the LGBTIQA+ Community and their families and friends has been a long held core value of this community, leading us to be actively enagaged in the Equal Marriage Campaign in 2017. We hope you find us a welcoming and inclusive place no matter what your gender or sexuality.
