Peter Riggs - http://peterriggs.wordpress.com/

Pete has been in and around youth ministry for nigh on 18 years now. It is his passion. Well it’s a passion. Started on camps with Scripture Union, then finished a science degree to take on the chaplaincy at Heathfield High ( state school in South Australia), There for 9 years, then onto Prince Alfred College  (uniting church boys  school) for 3⅓ years and now the youth and young adults pastor at Aberfoyle Uniting Church for the last 2 years.

Loves his wife and kids (Rachel, Josh 5. Maddy 3. Charlotte 1), a good laugh with the Office (English version thanks) a kick of the footy, and a redemptive movie just to top it all off.

Kynan Brookes - http://kynanbrookes.wordpress.com/

Kynan began at Hope Valley Uniting as the Youth Pastor in 1997.  After then serving as Associate Pastor for several years he was appointed as our Lead Pastor in 2006.  Kynan and his wife Rachel love life.  Besides serving, leading and believing in the local church as the place where hope is discovered and lives are changed, he spends much of his spare time chasing his three young children.

Kynan enjoys the outdoors (surfing, fishing, kayaking, hiking and camping) and is currently reading “It Takes a Team” by Wayne Cordeiro and Kid Wrangling (an ongoing project to bring future relief)

Kynan graduated from Parkin Wesley College in 2007 with a Bachelor of Theology and has a Bachelor of Arts (Hons) from Flinders University.
