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

November
Praise God for everything He has been doing in Bathurst this year! We have our annual Thanksgiving Sunday on 29 November. May the Father grow our thankfulness and help our church rejoice in all the good gifts He gives.
