Our Pastoral Team

Senior Pastor

Position currently vacant

DALE LAWRENCE

Associate Pastor - Youth/Young Adults

Though Dale begins his role in 2020 as interim Children’s/Youth Pastor, both he and Kylie have been a part of GBC for over 16 years. Having worked at BSL and as a school Chaplain during this time, Dale has a deep appreciation for the people of Gladstone. Thankful for God’s grace in his life and for the loving Church family at GBC, Dale seeks to humbly serve God in this role.

Dale enjoys camping in the bush, spearfishing and playing handball. His 3 daughters say he is the best at cooking burnt damper and has even had an entry in the Mt Larcom show. Though he is hopeless at playing Touch football, Dale is not too bad at refereeing and enjoys most sports.

Passionate about seeing young people come to know Jesus through the Gospel, Dale is keen for faith to be more than just head knowledge but imbedded in the hearts and lives of all young people. Since before their marriage in 2003, Dale has served together with his amazing wife Kylie in many ways and they look forward to connecting with you soon.

ANDREW DAVIS
Pastoral Assistant – Care & Connection

Andrew began attending GBC in 2004 with his family, and soon became heavily involved in various ministries. He has a passion for music, young people, and the word of God.

You will regularly see Andrew serving in the worship team on Sunday, Youth group & N2Y, as well as on the church Board. He has recently commenced a song writing ministry facilitated by GBC with the aim to write music for the contemporary Christian Church.

NICOLE EBORN
Pastoral Assistant – Women's Care

Having been connected with various churches and ministries over the years, Nicole is passionate about incorporating the Gospel into every aspect of life, reaching the lost, and encouraging the body of believers “to love and good works”.

As a songwriter, she often uses music as a means of both worship and recreation, and recharges best when spending time at the feet of Jesus and engaging in Kingdom conversations (especially over an iced-coffee).

Nicole has been heavily involved in youth ministry (both in schools and churches) for over ten years, and currently helps coordinate New Youth alongside her husband, Sam. After being part of the GBC community since her move to Gladstone in 2021, Nicole stepped into the position of Pastoral Assistant in 2024, opening up further opportunities to serve and encourage.
