OUR LEADERS

OUR CORE LEADERSHIP

Our Core Leaders oversee the overall ministry of Liberty Christian Church.

Pastors Richard and Dianne Kerridge are the senior ministers at Liberty Christian Church in Melbourne, Australia.

Their heart is to see people released into the freedom, power and life that Jesus died to give them. They are passionate about Christians knowing who they in Christ. They minister out of a revelation of the incredible grace, love and supernatural power of a good and faithful God.

They have a real passion for missions.  They developed Liberty to oversee not only local church ministries but to be a ministry that reaches out to the world. They have taken on a mission-minded approach to doing church.

Richard oversees Liberty Ministries International. He is also the national chairman of our denomination, Associated Christian Ministries (ACM), and the chairman of Associated Christian Ministers International (ACMI) – a ministry that gathers pastors for fellowship and leadership training in various nations. He also commenced Into Africa Inc. with a small group of like-minded people from Liberty Christian Church who believed that as Australians we are greatly blessed and therefore have the capacity and responsibility to help those in our world who are in need.

Dianne oversees the day-to-day operations of Liberty Christian Church and is the founder of “Women Arise!” a ministry to women in Africa. Dianne and Richard have two daughters, Laura and Kathryn, who have a developing ministry in music and worship.

Phillip Caruana runs his own business and is an elder and director of Liberty Christian Church. He and his wife Barbara are founding members of the church and are significantly involved in many church activities. They hold numbers of meetings in their home and have both been on various overseas mission teams.

Phil especially has a heart to see the supernatural power of God released in the church and out into the world. Phil and Barb have four children, Elisabeth, Steven, Jessica and Paul.

 

Dr. Conrad Chiu and his wife, Theresa, are medical doctors and have been with Liberty Christian Church from its inception. Both have pastors’ hearts and are highly involved in church ministry. They have constantly run meetings in their home. Conrad is an elder in the church.

Conrad is a leader within the Chinese community in the Box-Hill area. He also has a heart for the people of Indonesia and regularly takes trips to minister to leaders and help train medical teams in various areas of that nation.

 

THE EXTENDED LEADERSHIP TEAM

While the above mentioned people are our core leaders they are only part of a much larger team.
Some leaders work on staff and others are volunteers, but all are very important and significant.
We have leaders for the various ministries of the church… You will find some of these leaders in the ‘ministries’ section of the website.

In reality everyone who are part of the church are part of this team of people who are on a journey to live life together and carry out the mission of the church.
