MEET OUR LEADERS

We exist to know Christ, know who we are in Christ and make Christ known

Our Eldership Team

At KINGDOMLIFE, our elders oversee the doctrine, discipline, and direction of the church. These men may or may not be paid by the church, but they share the responsibility of shepherding our church with wisdom and integrity (1 Peter 5).

Elder

 

Roni and Danubia were both born in Brazil and immigrated to Australia in 2019, following the Holy Spirits leading. Arriving not knowing what to expect and with very limited English walking through the doors of Kingdom Life on the first Sunday they arrived, they quickly knew this was their home.
