Dale longs to see people grow in their faith to maturity and to see people come to faith through his and the church’s ministry locally.
Aaron Needer | Young People's Pastor
Aaron Needer joined our church in February 2020 as our Youth and Children's Pastor, which has expanded to include our Young Adults as well. He is married to the lovely and exuberant Rebekah, who brought two similarly enthusiastic poodles into the marriage, Fleur and Emelda. Aaron is passionate about the church, he thoroughly enjoys preaching God's Word, and he is anxious to make disciples of Jesus Christ among the young people of the Lockyer Valley. He is a creature of habit, and he loves to start his day with an open Bible and a single origin coffee in hand. He is also a ferocious reader, he loves kicking a soccer ball, and he loves travelling with his wife.
