Keith loves helping people grow in their knowledge and love Jesus. He is married to Naomi and they have 2 adult children. Like many who grow up in country towns he has a passion for the bush and sport. Keith loves reading, film, hanging out with people, good coffee and understanding how things work, (though putting them back together can sometimes be a problem).

Libby spent 19 years working with university students in France. Sourcing the best coffee is a favourite pastime, as is reading and cinema. Libby works particularly with women across the congregations, and considers talking with women about their relationship with Jesus to be a great privilege.

Ian is married to Sarah and they have two energetic young boys, Tommy and Ethan. He has been involved in pastoral ministry with a variety of roles and responsibilities for around 15 years, with a short stint in Christian school chaplaincy before joining the pastoral team here at Harbourside. As a family they enjoy time at the many beaches and different coastal walks on the Coffs Coast. Personally, he also enjoy reading, running, mountain biking, cricket, supporting Ipswich Town Football Club, and following the less than mighty Essendon Bombers. Doing the latter helps him to put my hope in Jesus, where it rightly belongs!

Sam is passionate about helping young people know and love Jesus. He is married to Lauren, and together they have four children.
Originally from Coffs Harbour, Sam and Lauren spent thirteen years living in South East Queensland, where they met and where Sam trained and served as a Presbyterian minister. Much of his ministry experience has involved working with teenagers and young adults.
Now back in Coffs — where Sam insists the beaches are better — he enjoys good coffee, spending time with family, and building Lego.
