Sarah Fitzpatrick
Kids' Pastor
Sarah is thankful to have known and loved Jesus since she was a child. She loves telling a new generation of kids about God’s great love for us in Christ. Sarah also enjoys swimming, reading, Italian food and spending time with family and friends.
Andrew Beddoe
Training
Andrew has a heart to see practical, everyday people trained to make disciples of Jesus and lead ministries. This desire has led him work in Vocational Bible College as well as at Hope. Andrew is married to Emma and they have four energetic children who love spending time in the outdoors together.
Robyn Padt
Church administrator
Robyn loves to call Hope her church home. She loves Jesus and wants to see people come to know Him. She is married to Shaun and they have three kids. When she isn’t hanging out with them, her favourite thing to do is play a game of netball!
Lucy Wu
MINISTRY OPERATIONS DIRECTOR
Lucy started following Jesus in late high school through a friend’s invite to church. Like dawn to a sunrise, the gospel became increasingly clear and important in shaping all aspects of her life since. She spent many years working in corporate services and wants to now better use the skills gained for God’s Kingdom purposes. She gets a kick out of good food, fun time with friends and getting things done.
Evan Oei
student minister
Evan was born in Indonesia and has largely spent his whole life in the lower North Shore of Sydney. He used to be an exercise physiologist but wanted to have more time to help people know Jesus after God had convinced him that living under Jesus’ lordship is the best way to live. In his spare time, Evan loves being active whether its playing ultimate frisbee, basketball, cycling or enjoying a hard-earned coffee after a park run.
Helen Xing
student minister
Helen started following Jesus for herself in late primary school. She is married to Nate and they will be studying at Bible College together. On a day off she enjoys swimming and taking photos of friends and family.
Nate Xing
student minister
Nate loves to share the good things of life with others, and most of all he loves to share about Jesus. He is married to Helen and they are studying at Bible College together. Nate is always down for a coffee and a chat, and when he’s not doing that, he’s probably tinkering away on his guitars.
