About this speaker
John built a large, regional, multi-generational, healthy church that has impacted its local community through innovative programs and multiplied itself through church planting both locally and overseas.
He has led inter-denominational groups, such as the Perth Christian Minister's Fellowship, and has also ministered extensively throughout Australia and internationally. Amongst other things, he loves that his church has planted 6 churches in the last 20 years and has 67% of their adults in connect groups.
In 2012 he and his wife Dianne transitioned their church to stellar next-generation leaders raised in their church. Their church has now sent them to be specialist ministers in the wider body of Christ, specifically to partner with pastors to grow healthy churches.
He loves shooting things with his Canon 60D, thrashing around in the surf and is fond of his Android gadgets. Dianne, his wife of over 44 years, loves scenic flights, shopping, adrenalin-inducing experiences and her iPhone. They are both besotted with their four grandsons. And of course they love their kids!
