Our Team
The team at Darebin Presbyterian Church is made up of people who believe that true and lasting satisfaction is found through knowing and serving Christ.
If you have any general inquiries please contact Adam, however if you have questions about a specific ministry a different member of our team may be able to help you more effectively. Contact details can be found via the Member Area.
Adam Humphries
-
Adam loves Jesus, his family, science fiction and lego. In that order. He's also quite partial to boardgames, coffee drinking and guitar playing. Adam became a Christian while studying science at University and also met his wife, Tracey, there. They live in Preston with their three children - Charlotte, Noah and Toby.
Adam is particularly responsible for overseeing the maturity and ministry passions of DPC - which includes things such as overseeing all DPC’s Gospel Communities and identifying and training new leaders.
Adam is keen to see people deeply satisfied in knowing and serving Christ, and he believes that this deep satisfaction arises as people are deeply connected to God’s Word and God’s people.
