We have two staff members on the team with our pastors.
Corry Thompson
 Corry has been working for the church for 9 years in various capacities. Currently she is the Church Office Secretary. She does far more than shuffle papers though, she is a wonderful lady with a servants heart. She is happy to help whether it's a question about the building, finance, or ministries, she is always willing to help chase down the information you need. She is a great organizer and always answers the phone with a cheerful "good morning" or "good afternoon!" Originally from Holland, Corry has been living in Australia for more than 25 years. She is married to Gordon and they have two adult sons, Royston and Justin. She is an excellent cook and has been known to delight her guests with many lovely Dutch treats from her kitchen.
Shannon Anderson  Originally from the U.S.A., Shannon came over in 2010 as a volunteer with the children's ministry. She worked with Scott on Sunday School, Holiday Program and heaps of other bits and pieces. During that time she also spent a good bit of time investing in the Indigenous ministry opportunities that arose and truly fell in love with the people of Central Australia. One of those Central Australians fell in love with her too and Shannon and Mat were married by Pastor Sam in May 2011! They have established their home here in Alice and love ministering together in this town. Now she is on staff part-time and handles all things announcements, including the bulletin, website, announcement power points and whatever else comes across her desk. She also helps the worship teams with some of their administrative tasks and organizes a few church rosters. Occasionally, you'll hear her American accent when you ring the church as she fills in for Corry from time to time.
