About us

We are a group of people keen to see the Gospel thrive in our own lives and in the lives of those around us.

​

We value:

  • God above all

  • Sound teaching of the Bible

  • Prayer 

  • Spreading the good news

  • Spiritual growth

  • Generosity

  • Being real 

​

We don't much like:

  • Christian jargon

  • Sloppy thinking about God

  • Being boring

  • Wasting our lives

  • Destructive cultural trends and practices

Born and raised in the West, Greg did his High Schooling in the wheatbelt town of Moora. After university he worked in Perth for 3 years as an Actuarial Officer. It was during this time that he came to faith in Christ and met and married his wife Wendy (who hails from Dalwallinu).

 

Greg and Wendy headed to Bible College in Adelaide in 1990 and ever since have been involved in Christian ministry. They are both passionate about teaching God’s Word, building up the local church and helping marriages thrive. They have 3 children, all married, and 4 grandchildren.
