Originally from Adelaide, Paul made the move to Melbourne in 2024, where he currently serves as a minister and youth leader at UPC Lynbrook. Before this, he was involved in youth ministry in Adelaide, dedicating several years to serving in his local church. Paul is also an active member of the Evangelist Program under Australian Home Missions, continuing to spread the Gospel and support the growth of the church. Paul and Cilla's passion are seeing youth embrace their God-given purpose and making a real difference in their communities. Their vision is to raise up leaders who are confident in their faith and equipped to face life's challenges. Paul met his high school sweetheart, Cilla, in 2011, and married in 2012. Together, they are blessed with two beautiful daughters, Nora and Evie. Outside of ministry, Paul cherishes quality time with his family, enjoys fellowship with friends, and he loves a competitive game of golf.
