Nick comes to us all the way from the USA. He is a native of Chicago, IL and attended Valparaiso University & Concordia Seminary St. Louis.
After spending 10 years serving as pastor in two different churches, he made the leap to his wife, Kirby’s native home: Queensland. They have three children: Lilly, Toby & Lachie.
He has served as pastor at Prince of Peace since Oct 2020.
Outside of ministry, he enjoys watching sports and playing modern board games.
Jon is also American, coming to Prince of Peace in 2025 from the state of Michigan to fill a new role as part of our vision to be an "Oasis" of connection and wellbeing.
He previously worked for The Salvation Army managing communications and public relations at a large community center. Prior to that, he spent 15 years as a television weather presenter (meteorologist)!
Jon's wife, Andrea, also worked in television, and is very involved in youth sport and other pursuits. They have three kids: Madeleine, Colin, and Brendan -- Maddie is still back in the USA as a university student studying aviation technical operations, while the boys have joined the Prince of Peace College community.
You'll often find Jon cooking, reading, or enjoying sport or music.
