Nick Moll (Assistant Minister)
Nick Moll, together with his wife Lizzie and their baby daughter Grace, joined the team at St Anne's in 2012. He focuses his attention on the 7pm congregation.
Nick completed his theological studies degree in 2011 and comes to Strathfield with a conviction that the Bible is God’s mouthpiece, containing crucial messages concerning both one’s everyday life and eternal destiny. He aims to minister to believer and inquirer alike, through engaging with the claims of the Bible and the love of Jesus.
‘This love of Jesus is what Christians call God’s free gift of grace. This gracious love means that we live lives with empowerment to love others and in the security of God’s forgiveness. What profound things, in the light of what we’re really like.’
Nick appreciates all manner of elements of life in Sydney: nature, food, sport, music… and often enjoys them in the company of others.
David McLennan (Student Minister)
David is a student at Moore Theological College. He spent the last decade working for the Commonwealth Government in Canberra (mostly in Defence), and also served as an infantry soldier in East Timor. David is married to Catherine, and they have four young and energetic children. He likes travelling, reading biographies and following politics – and wishes he had more time to watch the cricket.
David wants to devote the rest of his working life to helping others discover what it means to follow Jesus.
