Rev Roger Cunningham

Senior Minister

My life was transformed when I heard the good news of Jesus preached in a church like ours at the end of high school. It was then that I realised I’d known about God but hadn’t entrusted my whole life to him. Following Jesus is the best decision I ever made! I’m married to Louise - the second best decision I made - and we have three adult sons and a daughter-in-law. I worked in telecommunications before I took up communicating Jesus full time. I consider it a great joy to lead people in meeting, knowing, and growing in the Lord Jesus. I enjoy reading, riding my bike, telling stories, and mucking around with Jed the dog.

Rev David Simmons

Assistant Minister

I became a Christian in high school after hearing about Jesus at our local church’s youth group. I have been a follower of Jesus and part of his church ever since. I am married to Sammy and we have 4 great kids and a friendly Boxer named Boj. I love running in the mornings, family dinners, and watching too many games of sport on the weekend. Most of all, I love knowing Jesus and getting to teach others about him.

Ingríd Barendrecht

Office Administrator

I became a Christian when I was 16. I am Lachlan’s wife, mum to our 3 boys, and I’m the office administrator at EPAC. I love my job because it connects me with people and gives me a front-row seat to see God’s work in the lives of our members and our local community. When I’m not at the office, I enjoy singing in a choir, reading fantasy novels, doing crosswords, and playing Minecraft. I love road trips, picnics, and adventure travel, seeing God’s creation and enjoying quality time and conversations around a cosy campfire.

Chloé Steward

Communications Co-ordinator

I don’t remember a time before I knew Jesus. Lately God’s been showing me how abundantly he provides and he’s been growing me in generosity. I’ve got a Bachelor of Media and Communications with Honours and I’m currently studying my PhD. I'm a writer who is never seen without a notebook, two pens, and a novel in my bag. When I’m not working, you’ll find me curled up with a book and a steaming mug of black coffee, planning an overseas adventure, taking long walks while listening to audiobooks, or painting by numbers.
