Pastor Darron Hayhoe
Darron has been working in youth ministry for the past 12 years. He has been saving kids, seeing God heal them and setting them free. His last youth group grew from 3 to 200 in two years! (interesting times!)
Darron was playing professional football in Mackay. He was also one of Australian Idols "Top 40" in 2005. But his true passion is to see people saved and discipled into the Kingdom of God.
Rebekah has been right there the whole way. She worked in the meat works and then took a promotion as a Mother and Youth Pastor. Her life has had some tremendous highs and some deep lows, but through it all God has given her an amazing testimony and fantastic wisdom to deal with day-to-day life.
Darron says - "I'm led continually by the Holy Spirit. I don't ever profess to know it all, but I do know what God can do in people's lives."
As of April 2008, Darron and Rebekah are our youth pastors for the High School ministry. Darron is married (to Rebekah) with two great kids (Laylah & Trista). They are expecting their first boy in a few weeks! Together this family has an incredible depth to their lives and we are excited to have them as part of our team.
