Dave is married to Carol and they have 4 children:  Maggie, Kai, Gil & Poppy.

Dave loves Jesus, his family, Wilberforce and the Panthers.

Dave claims his perfect day would involve cruising along a twisty road on his bike with Carol and his mates, or chilling out with some good tunes (depending on the mood – classic rock or modern folk).

Alex joined the team at the start of 2023 after finishing his studies at Bible college. Alex is married to Lavinia and they have a son called Nicholas.

Alex loves nature, a good book and the Lord of the Rings movies. He also can’t say no to a cup of tea!

Part of Alex’s responsibilities are overseeing the youth and children’s ministries. He loves seeing the young and the not so young come to know Jesus and grow in their love and knowledge of him.

Alicia is married to Greg and has three school aged children. She has been at St John’s for over 20 years and has been involved in many different ministries during that time.

Alicia has a love of history, especially local and family history. She also loves going on adventures with her family, reading and jigsaw puzzles.

Having always worked in administration, Alicia is now studying a degree in history to further her passion.

Alicia enjoys supporting the work of the gospel through administration. Through her abilities in the office, she can free up the ministry team to further the gospel throughout the community.

Alicia’s favourite bible verse is one that offers comfort and hope for the future: “He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.” Revelation 21:4

Alicia commenced in September 2020 and is currently in the Church office on Mondays & Tuesdays – 10am to 1pm, and on Thursdays – 10am to 3pm.

Safe Ministry

The Sydney Diocese of the Anglican Church has rules and protocols that our staff and volunteers must follow and adhere to in order to be able to participate in ministry.

Working With Children Check

Everyone over 18 years of age involved in ministry to young and vulnerable people must have a verified Working With Children Check.  It involves a National Police Check (criminal history record check) and a review of reportable workplace misconduct.

The result of a Working With Children Check is either a clearance to work with children for five years, or a bar against working with children. Cleared applicants are subject to ongoing monitoring and relevant new records may lead to a clearance being revoked.

Safe Ministry Training

The Sydney Diocese of the Anglican Church is an endorsed training partner under the Safe Church Training Agreement which is a nationally agreed standard for Safe Ministry training. The diocesan Professional Standards Unit is responsible for the administration of this training.

Everyone involved in ministry to young and vulnerable people (both paid staff and those volunteering) is required to complete the Safe Ministry Essentials course, and then every three years do the Safe Ministry Refresher course.  There is also a training course for Junior Leaders (designed for 14-17 year olds).
