Our team leader

Steve White and his wife Debbie joined us at the beginning of 2019.  Steve had previously enjoyed 10 years as an assistant minister at Harbourside Presbyterian Church in Coffs Harbour after finishing his studies at Moore Theological College.  His passion as a pastor is fuelled by a deep appreciation of God's immense grace over his life.  When he's not pastoring YPC his loves include spending time with Deb and his 4 kids, photography, running, music, and watching Liverpool dominate the Premier League.
