Pastoral Team

Rev Nathan Thackray - Senior Pastor

Nate has come to SBC from St Clair Baptist. He is married to Esther, and they have two beautiful boys, Jeremiah and Raphael. Nate is passionate about seeing people respond to the God of Scripture, who graciously moves towards us in His son Jesus, offering us a way to be in a relationship with him and live authentic and full lives as we follow Jesus.

Annie Hunter - Associate Pastor

Annie has been attending Springwood Baptist since the age of 13 when she first joined the youth group. She has been involved in youth ministry at this church and in the wider community for a number of years and became part of the staff team at the beginning of 2014. Annie is passionate about Jesus and loves nothing more than seeing young people meet and become whole hearted, all in disciples of their king. It is an incredible gift to be able to walk with teens through the hard years where they are forming their sense of self and help put Jesus in that picture. Best. Job. Ever!

Stephen Krimmer - Mens' Ministry Leader

Steve has been involved at Springwood Baptist Church for the past 17 years with his wife and two children. Having recently completed studies at Morling College he serves in ministries relating to families and men’s ministry. Steve enjoys being a part of the worship team and loves encouraging everyone to move one step closer to God on a discipleship journey.

Mark Mitchell - Church Administrator

Mark joined the team in July 2020. He has a background in pastoral and mission ministries and Christian book retailing. His desire is to help the pastoral team (staff and volunteers) to effectively serve our church family by giving them administrative support. Mark wants to become a spiritually centred person under the transforming hand of God. He loves swimming, reading, his family and living in the mountains.

Mariel Weeks - Office Manager

Mariel is our office manager. She manages to keep everything organised with a smile and great efficiency. Mariel is your first point of contact if you have a question or need help with something. She knows more about the Church than any two other people combined. Her hobbies are craft, gardening and travelling. We hate it when she goes on holidays however.
