Meet our team and trustees

  • Pastor

    Darren’s dream is for Northcote Church to be known for love & kindness. A place where every person feels accepted and able to thrive; without any barriers or glass ceilings - being fully affirmed and included. He is excited to see this community evolve and flourish on this messy, but beautiful, journey together.

  • Family & Community
