Bio: After much prayer and searching for a Youth director, Rob and his wife Michelle joined the parish in February 2004 from Melbourne. He is currently finishing a Bachelor of Youth ministry through the Bible College of Victoria.
Rob has a passion for youth ministry, and outside of the parish he has been involved in a number of activities including R.E. classes, Elevate (an initiate of Scripture Union) and a breakfast club at a local school where teens have a chance to eat brekkie and socialise before school.
Rob has assisting the church to focus on, and grow the youth congregation, in particular the 11am family service. He is also heavily involved in the 6.30 ‘young adults service’, and is a regular fixture behind the drum kit.
He is a family focused guy (with all the Dad jokes to prove it!). He and Michelle have 2 boys, Nathan & Josh. In his free time Rob loves to camp, four wheel drive, bush walk, as well as play the drums. Rob often utilises his mechanical and camping skills to take the youth group on adventures and outings- which are thoroughly enjoyed by all.
Rob’s love for the bush and sense of humour are evident from his favourite piece of scripture Deuteronomy 23:12-14.
