Bruce’s passion is to see youth know God through a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, founded on a trust in Jesus’ death and resurrection for us. Bruce’s own faith was nurtured in a Christian home, and in late high school he came to a deeper understanding of the sacrifice required to live for Christ, as he met weekly in a small group to read the Bible and pray with his peers.

His passion for youth has grown, during Bruce’s twenty years of involvement in youth ministry. First as a leader of a new high school youth group at his local Anglican Church in Jannali in the southern suburbs of Sydney, and for the last eight years in his current home church at St Philip’s Eastwood.

Born in 1968, Bruce worked as a structural engineer before commencing
theological studies in 1996 at Moore Theological College in Sydney.

Since graduating, Bruce has been engaged in ministry at St Philip’s Anglican Church Eastwood. He was deaconed in 2001 and priested in 2002. His role includes overseeing youth ministry, young adults’ ministry and co-ordinating the evening service.

Bruce is married to Jodi and they have four children: Matthew (7), Laura (5), Felicity (3), and Oliver (1).
