Rev Lynda, our Associate, joined us in July 2020 with her husband, Chris. Lynda grew up in Wollongong, becoming a Christian when she gave her life to the Lord at the age of 11.

Lynda has enjoyed the piano for most of her life, both playing and teaching. She moved to Sydney in her twenties and it was there that she was encouraged to pursue pastoral ministry. Lynda moved to Melbourne to study theology at Ridley College, where she met Chris. After marrying and moving to Brisbane, and having three children, she then completed more theological study and was ordained in 2000. Lynda has had several Diocesan roles, including Diocesan Committees, and has been on a School Council for 12 years, including a time as Chair.

Lynda is committed to developing evangelical ministry across Queensland and in that role, she Chairs EFAC Qld [Evangelical Fellowship in the Anglican Communion], a global organisation started by John Stott in 1961. Lynda has recently been elected to the Standing Committee of General Synod of the Anglican Church of Australia.

Lynda loves spending time with her adult children and their spouses, along with seven grandchildren! She enjoys dabbling in photography, making and drinking great coffee, and together with Chris, they appreciate the waterways of Noosa on their kayak.

Brad is married to Joh and they have three daughters, Jemima, Ella and Evie.

Brad has special responsibility for our Peregian congregation which meets in the Illawong Room of St Andrew’s Anglican College in Peregian Springs.

Brad and Joh grew up in Adelaide where they loved serving the church in various ways. After Brad was ordained God called them to serve His church on Kangaroo Island. They spent 9 years on the island where they loved the people, the environment and the partnership with Bush Church Aid. In their free time on the island they enjoyed camping, exploring the creeks, beaches and national parks.

Coming to ACN in October 2021 was a move from paradise to paradise.  They love the warmer paradise in Peregian for the extended beach-worthy times, the dog-friendly beaches to take their Cavvy, and the musical events and shows on offer nearby.

The whole family loves music, worshipping God, camping, exploring rainforests, coffee shops, and bakeries.
