Originally from Sydney, he’s had the privilege of serving Jesus in both city and country, in Australia and overseas. Married to Anna, they are blessed with 5 children (several of them are now adults).
Mitch attends the 9:45 service with his wife and 3 children. As a star wars fan, he chose his wife, Skye, purely because of her name. Praise God it worked out anyway. Mitch secretly wishes he was Indiana Jones. He loves church, country Australia, sport, reading, learning, and family.
A former preschool teacher and the third of six children, Meaghan is at home in the joy and chaos of Children’s Ministry and passionate about walking alongside young children as they discover more and more about their gracious God together.

Liam pastors the 10am and 5pm services. Married to Liz, with four kids, Liam loves soccer and looks forward to the new creation.

Stacey has been a follower of Jesus for as long as she can remember, and is thankful for the opportunity to be involved in discipling others at St Michael’s. Her main focus is on ministry training and the ‘Equipping’ aspect of our discipleship pathway. Stacey and her husband Mark moved to Wollongong with three pre-schoolers, but are somehow now the parents of four adults.

The Wardens have the oversight of church property and the trusteeship of all monies held by St Michael’s. Parish Council meets monthly and deals with church property, finance, and administrative matters. In addition, the Senior Minister confers with the Parish Councillors in the initiation, conduct & development of church work; and they consult on projects affecting the interests of the parish generally. Parish Councillors and Wardens are elected each year at an Annual General Meeting where all are welcome to attend.
