MEET US
We're all different. We're all imperfect. We're all in this together.
No matter your history, work title or background, we believe that you can belong here.
To help you get to know us, here are a few people who are part of the Providence community:
Pastor: Mikey
Mikey is the lead pastor of Providence Community Church. He met his wife Heidi in Sydney, and they have been married for 5 years.
Before his life as a pastor, Mikey lived day to day not knowing why Jesus was relevant to his life. After a car crash that triggered a genuine search for identity and purpose, Jesus saved Mikey and gave him a purpose and passion for teaching the Bible to others.After completing a Law Degree, Mikey moved to Sydney to study theology at Sydney Missionary Bible College and in 2014, had a blast serving as the Hon. Assistant Pastor of GracePoint Presbyterian in Sydney.
In his spare time, Mikey is a bit of a movie buff, a coffee snob and an avid fan of the NBA.
Addie
Although Addie grew up in a non-Christian home, at a young age she was already questioning the point and purpose of her life on earth. She was introduced to church through a youth group where she found a connection to God. Through Bible reading and singing to God at church, she found her life's purpose in living for Jesus, who in his love and mercy made a sacrifice for all.
Although a shy girl, Addie loves singing and her creative hands make her a fabulous floristry student, guitarist and pianist!

Billy
Billy used to think life was all about success. Life was about chasing after the latest things and striving hard for achievements so that he could be respected. Despite his efforts, there always seemed to be something that he didn’t have, or someone who had achieved more. When Jesus reached down into his life he realised that life was about something greater. Because of Jesus, Billy’s sense of worth now comes from knowing and being known by God.
Billy is a Graduate Architect and loves hanging out with his wife Grace, and their dog Wally. He has a strange tendency to touch buildings to gauge their textures, loves soccer and enjoys long drives (preferably in a car that’s both Swedish and vintage).

Heidi
Growing up, Heidi refused to believe that God could accept a messy, 'sinful' girl like her. Despite the happy mask she wore around others, the short-lived highs of parties, boys and popularity left her feeling weary and empty. It was in her emptiness that Heidi explored the Bible for herself and found genuine joy in the God who came into the world to heal the very people that society considered unlovable.
Heidi works in marketing and loves fresh coffee, singing along to Disney flicks, grooving to old school RnB beats and playing with her furry son, Simba.

Andy
Andy grew up in the Northern Rivers of NSW and is the second child to two loving parents who raised him at church and taught him the love and joy of Jesus Christ. Andy cruised through his early life learning about God, but it wasn’t until he was 15, that Jesus revealed to him through the Bible that Christianity is a life choice, not just something to do on a Sunday.
Andy is a Commercial Analyst for Queensland Treasury. He is smiley, sarcastic and loves to have a joke. In his spare time he loves to be close to nature whether it’s a picnic in a park, a lazy afternoon at the beach or getting back home to enjoy farm life.
