Rachel Bemmer

Rachel Bemmer

Children’s Minister

Rach is our children’s minister, which is great because as long as she can remember, she’s loved being a part of anything that has been about kids and Jesus, and when the two go hand in hand, that’s even better!

Her first opportunity came when working in OOSH (Out Of School Hours Childcare), where she loved working with kids and families and found real joy and God-given skills when working through their celebrations and challenges.

After ten years she was keen to understand ministry with kids a little more and ended up working for Scripture Union NSW as their regional school worker for SUPA and ISCF lunchtime groups. This saw her on the road most days heading out to different schools and meeting the beautiful volunteers who wanted to share about Jesus in the kids’ lunchtime space.

This helped her understand the behind-the-scenes work of what is entailed in a ministry role. In parts, this made her nervous, but there was a greater part of her that was so excited to have a job teaching kids and encouraging households about Jesus every day!

This brought her to her last stepping stone, as she undertook a three-year Associate Degree in Ministry at Youthworks College so that she could become a qualified kids minister!

Rach’s email is rach.bemmer@jamberooanglican.com and you can call her on 0‭466611838‬.

In his free time you may find him on the tennis courts at Kiama, catching up with friends wherever there’s decent coffee, or spending time with his wife Liz. Brad is always keen for a chat with anyone, young or old, about the footy, the surf conditions, and particularly seeing young people grow in their knowledge and love of Christ.

Brads’s email is brad.vidilini@jamberooanglican.com and you can call him on 0478623617.

Steve Bligh

Steve Bligh

Honorary Assistant Minister

Steve Bligh is our Honorary Assistant Minister.

Steve is focused on “equipping the saints for the work of ministry” (Ephesians 4:12). He recognises that all of us have talents and opportunities that can be put into action for the good of others, and he is keen to affirm and further resource God’s people in living as Christ’s ambassadors (2 Corinthians 5:20).

Steve served as a high school teacher for ten years, then as an Anglican Minister for thirty years- much of that time in the eastern coastal region of Sydney.

He is married to Fiona, with three children and four grandchildren. As an “old salt” and “grey grommet”, Steve still surfs regularly, being actively involved in local Boardriders clubs.

Our Wardens

Anglican Churches have wardens who are responsible for finance and property, and help keep the wheels turning behind the scenes.

Our Wardens are Greg Baker, Barbara Stephens, and John Rosten.

Our Parish Council

The Parish Council is responsible for all other matters financial. They also convene to consult with the minister on ministry matters.

Our Parish Councillors are James Rosten (and Treasurer), Stephen Holmes, Rod Wales, Andrew McPhail, Adam Vidilini, Elise Baker, and Michael Fagan.

All of us!

The Bible teaches that every person who believes in Jesus is a minister. That’s in Ephesians chapter 4 verse 12.

So that means that we’ve got a church that’s full of ministers!

We’re involved in everything from playing music through to leading Growth Groups; from occasional preaching through to running kids’ programs; from visiting sick and elderly through to leading services; from cooking and cleaning through to maintenance and gardening. Everyone does everything, and we’re sure there’s something that everyone can be involved with.
