Andrew Price

Senior Pastor As Senior Pastor, Andrew oversees the ministry across both Doncaster and Blackburn churches. He could not do this without the great gospel work of the staff, the many parishioners who work together to serve Christ, and his very supportive wife Michelle. Andrew is committed to teaching God's word and others to read it, since God's word points us to God's Son and the primary means by which God's Spirit gathers and grows people in Christ. Andrew is married to Michelle, and they have three teenage kids and one pet rabbit.

David and Esther

Senior Mandarin Pastors David and Esther came to Australia from mainland China. Soon after arriving they both became Christians. Three years later they both felt called by God to fulltime ministry and entered the Bible College of Victoria (now Melbourne School of Theology). After graduating, God guided them toward ministry at Holy Trinity, where they together began the Chinese ministry. By God's grace, the Chinese ministry has grown into three congregations with about 300 meeting each week and they primarily pastor the 1:30pm congregation at Doncaster. David and Esther have a married son and two granddaughters. David enjoys fishing and singing, and Esther likes reading and walking.

Apart from being a disciple of Jesus, Mark’s greatest joy is to be a husband and home cook to Elissa and father and uber-driver to his teenage daughters Emma and Lauren. He takes a keen interest in global politics, the dynamics of cultural diversity in society and corporate governance in the not-for-profit sector.
