Mission Profile

Tom & Tanya Killingbeck

Calimë (2004) Tristan (2007) Chiara (2009)

Serving with BCA since September 2025

Tom & Tanya Killingbeck lead the faithful on King Island. “I believe that Tanya, our kids and I are in a good place to contribute to the mission of BCA, as we are fundamentally country folk, and we fundamentally believe the Gospel is urgently required in hard-to-reach places like the bush,” says Tom. “Tanya's skills as an early childhood educator will be a great asset on the island, and I have the training and experience to operate as a minister in a remote location as we've done such ministry before, although not as remote.”
