Meet Our Team

David Strong

Senior Pastor

My key purpose and ambition for my role is to shepherd the church with word and prayer for the glory of Christ. I became a Christian through Jesus’ powerful work in my life while at university. Prior to becoming a pastor I worked as a soil scientist and then a farmer for about 10 years. I believe that the Lord has called me to preach the word of God and pray, and desire that the gospel would spread powerfully in Australia.

Dale Skewes

Associate Pastor

As part-time associate pastor I help with leading, teaching and preaching. I have a special focus on equipping for ministry and leading our team at Ashmont. I love connecting with people on the fringes of church and society. I feel privileged to spend time meditating on the scriptures and sharing this with others. My education background includes tertiary qualifications in teaching, theology and counselling.

Sheldon Holmes

Associate Pastor

I oversee the youth and young adult ministries at WWBC. My education background includes a Diploma of Theology from Morling College. I love connecting with young people; chatting about faith, life and Jesus; and reading and teaching the Bible. My desire is to see more young people come to know, love and trust Jesus, living Spirit-empowered lives for him.

Elders and Deacons

Appointed by our congregation, the Elders and Deacons of Wagga Wagga Baptist Church provide leadership and support to our Pastoral, Administration and Volunteer teams. This team undertake a range of behind-the-scenes responsibilities on behalf of the congregation.
