Rev Mark Illingworth is our full-time minister!
Mark Illingworth started his ministry at South Perth Uniting Church in January 2020.
Before Mark joined us, he was in the Uniting Church WA Presbytery/Synod headquarters for four years. His position there was Deputy General Secretary of the WA Uniting Church.
Evangelism and community service are very much part of Mark’s core and vision, so in 2000 after going back to get a degree in Theology, Deb, Mark, and their three young children set off on a mission to plant The Billabong Uniting Church in Canning Vale. The mission began with a small group of like-minded Christians meeting at their home. This led to bigger and bolder endeavours which saw the planning, and the construction of a permanent place for worship. Today, the church is a thriving community, a testament and an example of what is possible when we allow God to work with and through us.
Mark and Deb now have three adult children, two sons-in-law, and two grandchildren. We are absolutely thrilled to have both Mark and Deb with us on our journey together in the South Perth Uniting Church. They are a terrific team together striving for the gospel of Jesus.
