Pastoral Staff
 Keith Glasgow BTh Senior Pastor |
Keith and Marg Glasgow took up the role of Senior Pastor at Edge Church mid 2007. They brought with them many years of experience in Christian work and ministry. Both Keith and Marg are excited about God’s plans for the church. “Edge Church has great potential, and I am enjoying the challenge of helping to lead the church forward.” Keith grew up in Brisbane and moved with his parents to Melbourne in the 60’s. He then spent 26 years in New Zealand where he married, and did his theological training.Keith has a vision for the church, that it should be a caring and accepting community, and also be a significant influence for good in society.Keith believes that the greatest challenge that the church faces in today’s culture is to reach the many Aussies today who are interested in God, but not too interested in the church. He believes that the church is not a Sunday morning ‘service’, but a dynamic, loving and authentic community where people can get connected with God and each other. “God has given me the responsibility of serving his church by proclaiming his message in all its fullness” (Col 1:25 NLT) |
 Nathanael Nixanto Associate Pastor |
Nathanael grew up in three different countries – Indonesia, New Zealand and, for most of his life, Australia. His Chinese, Indonesian and Dutch cultural background, along with being truly Aussie, make him a great fit for our church with wide racial and cultural diversity. He commences in January 2012 and will oversee the children’s youth, young adults and young families ministries in the church. We are sure that Nathanael’s experience and warm enthusiasm with help us glorify God in our mission of joining what God is doing to build His Church and extend His Kingdom. “ |

Anthea has been at Edge along with her husband since mid 2006. Anthea and Hinson have 2 grown children, the eldest married in 2010. Born in South Africa and married to Hinson, a Hong Kong born Chinese, may seem a noteworthy mix but is not unusual at Edge where differences and multiculturalism is the norm, all mixed together and united like a rainbow. Anthea has worked as a business manager in their IT Company since 1987. Having a heart for the spiritual and emotional needs of women found her naturally involved in many aspects of the women’s ministry at Edge. She was offered the role of Women’s Pastor in Jan 2011, tasked with building on the legacy of many women in the Edge Women’s Ministry before her, encouraging an earthly example of the heavenly promise of family, forgiveness, purpose and belonging. “For whoever does the will of My Father in heaven is My brother and sister” (Jesus - Matthew 12:50 NKJV) |

Furthermore, to educate the children about the world’s developing countries and how they have the power to embrace change.”Jessica’s favourite Bible verse is:Jeremiah 29:11 “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” |
