OUR LEADERSHIP
The best "church leader" is a team (Ephesians 4:11). At Exmouth Christian Fellowship, we’re blessed with an outstanding group of dedicated believers and faithful leaders who conduct services, run events, and keep our church family on a clear spiritual path. Below is our Core Leadership:
Lead Pastor
Keith Stark
Keith is our preaching and teaching elder. He serves our church full time, and can be reached via our church phone number. He has both a strong calling to serve Exmouth, and a deep love for our local and extended church family.
Keith is married to Cheryl, is the father of five daughters, enjoys "geeking" out over the Bible, mentoring other men, and loves being "Papa Stark" to their seven grandchildren.
Elder
Joshua Koontz
Josh is an elder with a wonderful gift of pastoral care. With more than 20 years of leadership experience in our church, he brings wisdom, experience, and historic continuity.
Josh is married to Donna, has three sons, and is a fantastic photographer of underwater sea-life, diver, and a valuable member of our vital Marine Rescue team when he isn't keeping our town residents safe with the Australian Federal Police (AFP).
Elder
Peter Vertseeg
Pete is an elder and brings spiritual discernment and encouragement to our church family. Another long-time member of our fellowship, Pete and his family have a central role in the weekly practical workings of our church.
Pete is married to Deb, has four children, is an epic fisherman, and loves to plan amazing trips for the family when he gets time off from his teaching position at EDHS as a Phys Ed teacher.
BOARD MEMBERS
Dani Faithfull
Steph Daniell
Dani and Jarrad have three beautiful children and she is our local school chaplain. She loves the Lord and runs a Bible study for youth, a safe place where they can explore the truths of the Bible and ask questions about Jesus.
Steph and Dave have three gorgeous children and she is a quiet, gentle leader in her community circle. They periodically run the Alpha Course to invite people into a place where they can safely ask the hard questions about God.
