Stephen Bates
Role: Pastor
My realisation of not only the reality of Jesus Christ, but also his importance to my life came very suddenly as a 19 year old university student. That moment changed my life. I became involved in a church and discovered a passion for ministry, particularly among youth. Kathy & I married in 1991 and began theological studies at Morling College in 1992 whilst serving at Hornsby Baptist. We were called to Parramatta Baptist in 1994 and have been incredibly blessed here. Outside of ministry I love walking through the Blue Mountains and whacking tennis balls around the court.
