The Ministry Team

Pastor Don & Sister Anne (yes, they're married - to each other)

From The Pastors’ Desk

These are exciting times to be alive. The world is changing. Technology is increasing and our economies are global in scope. Wickedness is at an all-time high, culture is far removed from the Christian model of nobility, morality and propriety. Because iniquity abounds, the love of many waxes cold.

In these darkest of times, the light of Jesus Christ shines brightest!

This is our hour – this is our generation – we have the golden opportunity to serve God in an environment as bold and oppressive as the Early Church experienced. Truth prevailed in an age of lies! Love prevailed in an age of violence! The Gospel of Jesus Christ shone though in spite of persecution and ridicule.

I invite you to join us and help us make a difference. We desire to positively impact our local community by meeting felt needs, and we aim to increase the knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ in the Northern Beaches area to grow a church that is “Rapture Ready.”
