Our Staff Team
We have a team who loves Jesus and are passionate about helping MCC know him and share him with the community.
Hans Kristensen
Lead Pastor
Hans was saved by Jesus when he was 14, and after that, his life has been a massive adventure that God is taking him on. Hans is married to Kate and has three kids. Hans loves to play basketball, support the Golden State Warriors, play guitar, eat steak and drink Coke. He is also studying the archaeology and history of ancient Israel and the Old Testament at the Australian Catholic University. If you want to read some of his research, you can find it on his blog.
Tim Bones
Pastor
Tim is married to Jess and has 3 kids. He is driven by a deep passion for people to come to know the life that Jesus offers. That keeps him pretty busy most of the time. But when he gets a break, Tim loves a good movie or TV series, relaxing with a video game and most of all, Tim loves the beach!
Kate Kristensen
Kids Pastor
Having put her trust in Jesus at the age of 3 (her first clear memory), Kate is passionate about helping children of all ages to hear about Jesus’ love for them. She loves that this is what her role as Kids’ Pastor is all about! Kate also loves being married to Hans and they are blessed to have three loud & energetic children. Kate likes to relax away from everyone with a hot cup of a tea (in a real teacup!) and a good book, or by baking yummy treats.
Gene Ling
Intern - Youth Pastor
Gene is a ministry intern and the youth pastor, which means he spends a lot of time trying to come up with silly games that aren't too dangerous and thinking about how to explain the Bible to young people. Thankfully, he looks much younger than he actually is, which helps him fit right in at youth group. Gene also works part-time as a GP, loves spending time with his wife and son, and tries to sneak in playing video games when he can.
Leadership Team
MCC is governed by the Leadership Team, who work in tandem with the Lead Pastor. This team is made up of members of MCC and they help set the vision and direction for the church while also managing compliance, finances and property. If you would like to contact the leadership team, you can email them at lt@marsfieldcc.org.au
