Vicar

Mike came to Melbourne in 2012. Originally from the UK, but with an Australian father, Mike came to Victoria with his Kiwi wife, Jo and their two children, to continue his ministry here.

Mike became a Christian as a teenager on a Scripture Union camp and was ordained in 1985. He has served in various parish ministry contexts in different parts of the UK, and as a mission partner in Tanzania, East Africa. He was formerly at St Alfred’s Blackburn North for 10 years. Mike regards serving in gospel ministry as the greatest of privileges. He started at St James in February 2023.

To relax, Mike enjoys time with the family, walks in the bush, sport, current affairs and the arts.
