Mission Profile

Greg & Karen Harris

Greg Harris is the 12th National Director of BCA. Greg and his wife Karen both grew up in western Sydney before independently moving to the bush where they met and married. Returning briefly to Sydney for theological study, they served in the Parishes of Collarenebri and Guyra for a combined 10 years before moving to Victoria and serving in the Parish of South East Bendigo and the Diocese of Bendigo for over 12 years.

This includes working with Diocesan Bishops and other Christian partners to identify new opportunities for ministry.
