Welcome 2

Hello! my name is Craig, and I’m privileged to be the Minister in Margaret River and Augusta for 2 days a week. During the other 3 days, I serve as the Rural Resource Minister for the Uniting Church of WA. In my approach to ministry, I strive to be ecumenical, contemplative, and open-minded. I enjoy journeying with people, listening actively and reflectively to their stories, and helping them find their own way to wholeness. I am passionate about contemplative practice and see it as playing an indispensable role in spiritual formation and personal transformation. As I serve here, I hope to encourage spiritual growth through contemplation and action, while contributing to the ‘everyone belongs’ flavour of our congregation. I’m married to Gen, and we have two children. I enjoy walking in the bush and at the beach, swimming in the sea, and reading.

Education: Bachelor of Commerce (2001, University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg), Bachelor of Theology (2010, Baptist Theological College of Southern Africa, Randburg), Master of Philosophy in Theology (2024, Notre Dame Freemantle, WA).

Previous Ministerial Work: Research Journalist (2010-2011, Transworld Radio, Johannesburg), Associate Pastor (2011-2013, Wychwood Baptist Church, Johannesburg), Sole Pastor (2013-2018 Griffith Baptist Church, Regional NSW), Senior Pastor (2018-2021, Margaret River Baptist Church, South-West WA), School Chaplaincy Manager in WA (2022-2024, SU Australia).

Welcome to Margaret River PreKindy!

We’re thrilled that we will be offering a new PreKindy to Margaret River in 2024 at the Uniting Church.

We are excited to join this vibrant community and offer a new opportunity to families who have children who are turning 3 or have turned 3.

At Margaret River PreKindy, we’re committed to nurturing young minds, fostering curiosity, and creating a warm, engaging environment where your child can learn, explore, and grow.

Our dedicated team of educators are passionate about providing a foundation for lifelong learning through interactive experiences, play-based activities, and a supportive atmosphere that encourages creativity and discovery.

With the expected opening date being the 15th of July we will be offering Monday and Tuesday- 9am-2pm sessions and have now created a few Morning Meet and Greet Play dates over the next few weeks.

To come along to one or all of our play dates please head over to https://www.trybooking.com/CSDOD and register.

We look forward to embarking on this exciting educational journey, and connecting with our wonderful community.

Feel free to explore, ask questions, and become part of our PreKindy family.
