Pastoral Team

Rev Phil Waugh - Senior Pastor

Philip has pastored here since Jan 2014. He is never happier than when there is an opportunity to teach or discuss some insight from the Bible. He is married to Karen and admits that without her very little would get done. In heaven he plans to do much more golfing, cycling and motor sport. His vision is for the Christian communities in the mountains to become renowned for their passionate discipleship of Jesus.

Rev Noel Wraight - Associate Pastor Youth & Young Adults

Noel joined the team at SBC in August 2014. He has found no greater riches than those found in a life lived for Jesus and it is Noel’s passion to serve other people in order that they too discover this abundance. As well as Jesus, Noel’s life has been enriched by his wife Lynnie and their 4 energetic boys, who all share their father’s love of sport. When time permits you will find Noel somewhere in the great outdoors taking in the sights or enduring some new challenge.

Ann Stone- Associate Pastor Children and Families

Ann joined the team at SBC in Dec 19. She thrives on empowering leaders to see their value in the body of Christ. Her passion for everyone to know and experience the love of Jesus drives her to serve in full time ministry. Ann enjoys watching the eyes of children as they begin to grasp the concept that God has a plan and purpose for their lives. Ann has two older teenagers she enjoys taking adventures with. Ann enjoys the beach and feels particularly close to God while watching the waves and picking up shells.

Peter Melbourne - Associate Pastor Pastoral Care

Peter Melbourne has been a member of the church for 30 years. His career has transitioned from building and maintaining infrastructure as a civil engineer to his real passion of making and building disciples as a pastoral carer. Married with four adult daughters, Peter is a keen sailor and cyclist with enough interests to last four lifetimes.

Annie Lindsay - Associate Pastor Youth

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! Annie also works two days as an SRE teacher at both Springwood and Winmalee High Schools.

Ian Fuller - Administration Manager

Ian & Margaret have worshiped at SBC since 1999 where Ian has served in a number of roles within the church prior to his appointment as Administration Manager, these included Boys Brigade leader, Deacon and Treasurer and has lead a bible study group since 2008.

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, reading and travelling. We hate it when she goes on holidays however.
