Stew is the Vision, Leadership and Community Pastor at Southern Cross Presbyterian Church. His position involves him chairing our team of elders, staff and Committee of Management. He is ably assisted by Jillian, our admin assistant, to help fulfill the vision he leads our church family in (particularly around training and events). Over the last five years, through his Master’s and Reach Australia consultancy, he has aspired to think purposefully through how administration can ‘add-ministry’. He is the Interim Moderator of Crossroads Presbyterian Church in Wollongbar and a member of the Pathways Committee for the Presbyterian Church of NSW.

Stew was an avid sports lover as a child and teenager and enjoys the freedom that physical activity brings. He notices that in order to seek first the kingdom, he needs to keep his sporting desires at bay and be cautious about walking into a sports store and overspending! 

With his wife Susan, they are the Vision Coordinators of the Gospel Community they lead. In 2025, he is hoping to lead the community in the knowledge that God works powerfully through His word. 

In his ministry life Stew has been enriched through the life and influence of the English evangelical Christopher Ash, he finds some of John Ortberg’s works fascinating and is interested to explore the life of Elizabeth Elliot in 2025.
