The greatest assets of LifeCare are its team of staff and volunteers.
We have a wonderful, dedicated team of 32 staff including counsellors, psychologists, social workers and administrators – all appropriately qualified, all people of Christian faith, all passionately committed to serving our local community. We could not run our community services without the support of about 120 volunteers who invest their time as COACH mentors, pantry team members, administrators and supporters.
Our Team Leaders
Care is at the heart of Christian faith. Who has ever been more radically caring than Jesus? I am passionate about shaping Crossway LifeCare towards faithful and impactful care, and bringing as many people along with me as I can.

He who works with his hands and his head and his heart is an artist.”

CEO
The real joy of my department is that it’s our role to help provide the resources that enable the other teams to do theirs. And to then spread the word about that wonderful work, so that we can continue to do more of it.

Each individual is valuable to God. Helping to bring His light and love into the lives of individuals can make the world a better place for everyone to flourish. Being involved in the recovery of women from family violence can make a difference for generations.

Team Leader - Operations
I love to empower and equip people to move towards living a life of fullness. Listening to a person's story or sharing a truth revealed can change a person's life for the better. I aim to do that every day.
"In the end, the most important thing is not to do things for people who are poor and in distress, but to enter into relationship with them, to be with them and help them find confidence in themselves and discover their own gifts.”
- Jean Vanier
Team Leader - Community Connections
Sometimes our goals can seem too overwhelming. I love helping people take many small, sometimes imperceptible steps that add up to a significant change.
“Little progress is better than no progress at all. Success comes in taking many small steps”
- John C Maxwell
Team Leader - Community Mentoring
I really enjoy working with people to help them better understand themselves and their situations, and find avenues of healing and change. Every person is unique, which keeps my work interesting and engaging.
