Eion & Claire Simmons

Ngaire (2007) Josiah (2009) Hayley (2011) Caleb (2014) Aurora (2016)

Serving with BCA from early 2026

Eion & Claire Simmons, along with their children Ngaire, Josiah, Hayley, Caleb and Aurora, have lived in Port Hedland in the Diocese of North West Australia since 2021, where Eion serves as the Minister in Charge. Both Eion & Claire grew up in Western Australia and have served in ministry at the Geraldton Cathedral, in Broome and with the Seafarer’s Centre. They are no strangers to the bush, having lived in regional Western Australia for 13 years. In a town that experiences a high population turnover due to the seaport and industry, having a long-term minister in the church is both a necessity and a blessing.

The Simmons Prayer Points for Summer

Pray for our upcoming Christmas services and events.

Pray for a good time of rest and recovery over the holiday period.

Pray for the kids as they prepare to return to school in February.

Pray for our church and congregation as 2026 begins and the usual changes that come from people leaving town and new people arriving into town.
