Archdeacon Brett Watterson

Rector: Brett grew up in Temora, near Wagga Wagga in the South West Slopes of New South Wales. As a child he attended church fairly regulary at St Paul's Anglican church but not as a teenager and young adult. It was not until in his mid twenties through the witness of Christian friends that he returned to church and had a revelation of faith in Jesus. With the encouragement and support of Christian friends and mentors he grew in his faith and had various times of epiphanies that led to ordination as a deacon and then priest in the Anglican Church of Australia. In 1996, whilst in the first year of studies at St Marks National Theological College in Canberra, he met Michelle Whitby on an overseas youth pilgrimage. They married at St Johns Anglican Church Bega January 1998. Over the years they have served in Canberra, Bermagui, Tumut, Batemans Bay, Junee, Parkes and now at Dubbo. They have four beautiful children. Brett is passionate about seeing people come to faith in Jesus and growing - and encouraging others - as a disciple of Jesus. His vision is for an alive and vibrant church (of all generations and across the denominations) through the Central West of New South Wales and beyond. He endeavours to live by the Two Great Commandments (Matthew 22: 36-40) and the Great Commission ( Matt 28: 16-20).
