Ministry Apprenticeships Program Co-ordinator

Matt is the Senior Assistant Pastor at St Mark’s UNEchurch and has been on campus in Armidale since 2020. Matt has primary responsibility for the ministry apprenticeship program which in God’s kindness has grown over the years. This includes working closely with and training our MTS ministry trainees and their trainers, organising supporters nights and regular updates for CUGF members. Matt was saved through campus ministry and has a passion for seeing the next generation know and love Jesus. Matt’s journey into full-time ministry began with a ministry apprenticeship in 2015-16 at Hunter Bible Church in Newcastle, and has been a trainer of apprentices each year since arriving in Armidale. Matt also serves on the G8 conference committee. G8 is the MTS national conference for apprentices and trainers held at Stanwell Tops in January each year.

Michael

Second year ministry apprentice

Hello, my name's Michael and I'll be starting as a ministry apprentice in 2024. I'm really looking forward to starting this apprenticeship as it will be a new direction and a completely different workspace from my current job. I'm also really looking forward to serving more actively and practically at church, getting to know more people across the congregations, and discovering how God can best use me for His kingdom here in Armidale and in the future. I hope the two years will be fruitful not only for church and campus, but also for my own personal walk, as although I know it will be challenging at times, I know it will also be a period of growth and refinement.

Ania

Second year ministry apprentice

Hey, my name is Ania and I am very excited to be an MTS apprentice for the next two years. I have lived in Armidale for the past four years whilst completing a Bachelor of Arts majoring in Linguistics. I am very much looking forward to getting more experience in full-time ministry and seeing what I can learn from my trainer and the wider team. One thing I am hoping to get out of MTS is some teaching/preaching opportunities, particularly in a school chaplaincy context. I’ll look forward to engaging with international students as part of the campus ministry.

Noah

Second year ministry apprentice

Hi, my name is Noah. My vision for MTS is to utilise the abundant opportunities for growth, to make a positive change, to evangelise, and most importantly to glorify God. For me this is a valuable stepping stone as I seek to minister and to serve. My areas of particular passion are youth ministry and young adults.
