Greetings all,

We'd like to take this chance to welcome Craig Tucker to the network as our new coaching director.

Craig Tucker became a Christian as a science undergraduate at Sydney University in 1981. After a couple of years working in what is now called I.T., Craig and his wife Cathy both trained at Moore college. Craig has also trained at the NSW Presbyterian Theological Centre (now known as Christ College) before becoming a Presbyterian minister in 1990. 

Craig and Cathy served as students in a church plant in Mt Druitt. On completion of their training church planted for 11 years in the outer west of Sydney (Blacktown West Presbyterian Church). They then planted a new church in an old building in the inner west of Sydney known as Drummoyne Presbyterian Church. After 14 years this church plant is now contributing to the planting a daughter church at Rozelle with Geneva Push planter Mikey Nhieu. 

Craig's passions are mentoring Christian leaders, rugby union, perfecting his green curry, church planting & apologetics in post-modern urban contexts. Craig and Cathy have been married 27 years and have two adult children. 

Craig completed an MA (Theology) in 2004 and is currently completing an MTh part time. He hopes to do further post grad study in 2015 while serving two days a week for Geneva Push. 

Craig brings a wealth of personal experience to the Director of Coaching role, including developing Christian leaders in South Africa, Zimbabwe, China and the Solomons. Craig has been trained as a church planting coach by City to City (Redeemer Presbyterian network) and been trained as a church planting assessor by the Presbyterian Church of America. Craig has served in formal planter assessment and mentoring for the Presbyterian Church of NSW.

We trust you will keep him in your prayers as he takes up his new position in February 2015!
