Paul & Lesley have been in full time ministry serving alongside one another since 1998.   After walking into a Church in Dandenong in 1996 and both committing their lives to Christ on the same night, they have been destined to serve the Kingdom of God together in their own call and ministries that compliment one another. During this time Ps.Paul & Lesley have been involved in pioneering and establishing two community organizations that have grown and provided food, clothing, employment training, and counseling to thousand of families living in Melbourne and other states of Australia.  Through these ministries they have also been able to provide practical and financial support to many worthy causes in other nations around the world.

In 2007 the Lord called Paul and Lesley to begin a new journey and pioneer Southern Life Church.  They have a passion to connect and reconnect people into an intimate relationship with Jesus and receive the fullness of His restoration and healing that is available to everyone. They believe that all people and cultures have a purpose in Him to fulfill and want to lead, and equip them into discovering His Kingdom purpose and plan for their lives. 

Paul and Lesley have been together for 18 years since Paul was 19 and Lesley was 17.  They have been married for 12 years and have three children Sarah 7, Josh 5, and Hayley 3.
