Ephesians: Living in God’s Grace

Start 2021 by sharing a relaxed weekend with the College Community. Listen to God’s word together, share with each other, pray together, and join in the fun.

Speaker: Allan Welch

Hi there my name is Allan and I’ m currently the Pastor at Clarence Town and Dungog Presbyterian Churches (in the Hunter Presbytery). In 2018 I completed four years theological study at Christ College in Burwood, and this is my first Pastoral appointment as Minister of a congregation. My wife Leanne and I have been married for 23 years and we have four kids, 3 still live at home and one daughter is at Uni in Sydney.

We have lived in Penrith, Ungarie, Cheshunt (Vic), Griffith and Glenwood over those last 23 years, holding various jobs – the longest stints being myself as a policeman and Leanne as a nurse, and now the best job ever – preaching and pastoring people with the Gospel of Jesus Christ! It’s been an interesting second year out from College, dealing with the Covid calamity especially – but what a privilege all the same! Leanne and I are looking forward to the retreat, and as my fishing boat is now running I hope to impress you with many tales of the latest enormous catch landed!
