Interesting fact: Greg and Karen met in February 1991, were going out at Easter 1991, engaged in September 1991 and married in December 1991. For a brief moment there was a hiccup when 4 days after getting engaged Greg was knocked unconscious during a rugby union match and lost his short term memory – which included the game score and the fact that he was engaged!
Bio: From suburban Sydney, to harvesting wheat fields, and then sowing the Word of the Lord. It may seem like an unlikely transition, but it is just a snapshot of the journey Greg has taken to becoming a minister.
Greg has completed a Bachelor of Natural Resources (UNE), Bachelor of Ministry (Moore College) and a Diploma of ministry. He and his family came to South East Bendigo from the Guyra Anglican Church (Armidale Diocese N.S.W) in February 2007. Greg is passionate about preaching the Gospel of the Lord, delivering his sermons with enthusiasm and vigour. He lists 2 of his favourite passages of scripture as Romans 8:1 and Psalm 97:1-6
Greg is married to Karen, and has 2 sons, Jon and Mat. Both Karen and Greg are musically talented, regularly assisting to lead the musical worship in services. Greg has not only brought musical skills, but also a knack for all things technical.
Greg enjoys spending time with his family, playing Rugby Union (NEVER to be mistaken for Rugby League) A.F.L., golf, cricket, hockey (basically any sport), and generally staying out of trouble.
