Tom & Tanya Killingbeck

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

Serving with BCA from September 2025

Tom & Tanya Killingbeck and family move to Tasmania in mid 2025 to lead the faithful on King Island. BCA has a long association with King Island, which has been looked after by locums since the retirement of the Thiele's in late 2022.

“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.”


The Killingbeck's Prayer Points for December 2025

We’d love prayer for the Church’s opportunities to reach out at Christmas, with special services and a Christmas Carols event.

Pray for our Bible studies and prayer meeting to bless the community.

The Killingbeck's Prayer Points for January 2026

Peak holiday season means more time with tourists and visitors to the Island. Pray that we will have chances to meet their needs whilst they are here.

Pray also for some downtime and rest.

The Killingbeck's Prayer Points for February 2026

With kids going back to school, pray for families whose kids travel to Tassie for studies, particularly those in Year 11 and 12.

Pray for Tom’s opportunity to play at the Festival of King Island.
