Mike McNamara

Mike grew up in England. At age 14, he attended a Christian Summer Camp where he became aware that Jesus died for him and asked Him into his life. After several years his faith waned. While studying at University, he had the opportunity to debate faith issues. Researching material, he realized that Jesus really did rise from the dead. Some weeks later he recommitted his life to Christ and has never looked back.

Mike was ordained in 1985, has served in UK and Tanzania where he met and married his wife Jo. They migrated to Australia and have 2 children.  Mike is currently Senior Associate Minister, St Alfred’s, Blackburn.
