Rob & Xanthe Yemm

Serving with BCA since February 2026

Rob & Xanthe Yemm are serving at the Bathurst Cathedral for two years training for ministry. Originally from New Zealand, Rob completed a three-year ministry apprenticeship in Christchurch before moving to Australia to study theology at SMBC. A BCA child herself, Xanthe spent her very early years in the Diocese of North West Australia before growing up on the east coast and completing a Master of Divinity at SMBC.

About Bathurst
Wiradjuri Country

BCA has worked with the Diocese of Bathurst to fund a minister-in-training position in the Diocese. The role is to provide a pathway for new college graduates to train for future ministry. After being announced in 2020, the partnership has supported Steven & Caitlin Klouth in 2021-2022, then James & Charly Boardman in 2023-2024.

Pray for the Yemms

July
Pray for a time of rest as we travel to Queensland to visit close friends. May we also be able to reflect well on our first six months at Bathurst Anglican.
