Glen & Beth McDonald, along with their children have lived in Roxby Downs since December 2018. Glen is the Minister-in-Charge at Roxby Downs Christian Community Church.

Beth enjoys sharing the gospel both within the church and the community.

Roxby Downs is a mining town in South Australia, about 560 kilometres north-west of Adelaide. It has a permanent population of around 4500 who come from around 40 different nations. Almost 1,000 fly-in fly-out (FIFO) or drive-in drive-out workers can be in town depending on shifts at the mine. The town was purpose-built for Olympic Dam, a mine that produces copper, uranium, gold and silver, which is located 16 kilometres to the north of Roxby.
