Our Team – Georges River Life Church

MEET OUR STAFF

At Georges River Life Church there is a large team of people at work behind the scenes. Men and women, younger and older, some paid, many voluntary – all equally have opportunity to develop a place of significant leadership in the life of this community. Our goal is to help people discover their abilities and passion and help release them into that. We find that when people serve in an area they are passionate about, great things happen.
