Archbishop of Southern Queensland, the Reverend Dr Phillip Aspinall, has appointed the Reverend Chris Johnson as Rector of the Anglican parish of Noosa, effective July 1.
The Archbishop has also appointed Chris’s wife, the Reverend Lynda Johnson as Associate Minister.
Chris and Lynda have worked together in ministry for many years and bring many complimentary skills and talents.
Chris was the Rector of North Pine, a northern Brisbane Parish for 22 years, while Lynda was the Associate Minister for most of that time.
“We are both very much looking forward to taking up the leadership of Noosa Anglican Church.
“Most recently we have been in the northern part of the Gold Coast responsible for setting up a new church at Ormeau/Pimpama as well as leading two of the churches in that Parish,” Rev’d C. Johnson said.
Both Chris and Lynda are passionate about authentic ministry, preaching the Bible, introducing people to Jesus Christ and equipping people to pursue their ministry passions.
Chris and Lynda did their initial training at Ridley College in Melbourne, they both hold, and have held, senior positions in the Anglican Church and are well respected clergy in the Southern Queensland Diocese.
“We are very much looking forward to coming to Noosa and discovering all the treasures that this district has to offer.
“We have holidayed in Noosa on many occasions but now we are looking forward to becoming part of a great community that is already putting out the welcome mat in so many ways.
“As well as finding our place in the Faith community we also want to work out how we can serve the wider Noosa community and see how the love of God might make a difference,” Rev’d C. Johnson said.
