Serving in

"Pay careful attention to yourselves and to all the flock, in which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers, to care for the church of God, which he obtained with his own blood."
(Acts 20:28)

Our Pastor

Meet Clayton and Melissa Ryan

Clayton joined us as the short-term Interim Pastor in June 2021, and in March 2021 the church unanimously voted to accept Clayton as our new Pastor. Clayton and his wife, Melissa, have been involved in Christian ministry since 2012 when they moved to the Czech Republic to serve  international students studying in the Czech Republic. They were there for eight years, during which time Clayton also served as an Assistant Pastor at the International Baptist Church in Prague, and was the Pastor of the English service of the Olomouc Baptist Church. Prior to this missionary activity, they lived in London for eight years. They returned to Australia in September 2020 and were living in Wollongong, where Clayton worked as the Communications and Office Manager, and also served as an elder and led the Men's Ministry at Wollongong Baptist Church.

Originally trained as a Chartered Accountant, Clayton feels much more at home in ministry.  Whether discussing theology or watching the Dragons win (which sadly isn't as often as he wishes), Clayton is down-to-earth and up for a cuppa and a chat any time.

Clayton & Mel are excited to be a part of TBC and are looking forward to seeing what God has in store for the months and years ahead at Tahmoor.

Our Deacons

The men and women forming our Diaconate have been prayerfully elected by church members and serve in various areas of the church.

In a prayer-based team environment, they develop, inform and consult concerning the ministries God has placed on their hearts. The team then makes recommendations to our members for their prayerful endorsement.

Our Pastor and Deacons, with their individual gifts and talents, serve our community with wisdom, diligence and care.
