Our Youth-Young Adult Pastor, Phil Eagling and his wife Sharon and their daughter Savannah, are a multicultural family. Phil was born in Vanuatu, Sharon was born in Brisbane, and Savannah was born in Knoxville Tennessee, USA.

They claim to be Queenslanders and obviously go for Queensland, even though they had a ministry in two NSW suburbs until joining SDBC. They claim to be Queenslander’s through and through.

Phil went to Johnson Bible College near Knoxville TN, USA for four years and before he did that he worked as a post Mortem Technician and the Hospital system in Brisbane. Sharon also worked as a manager of a record store before going with Phil and studying some subjects while at Johnson.
Phil loves watching movies with Savannah, reading, walking the dog, and going to Gloria Jeans. You could say he is full of coffee.

Phil also likes to relax by writing a song or painting a landscape. Sharon loves to read and do craft and they both like going to movies and the beach.

Phil’s attitude to ministry is about building relationships and helping people recognize the most significant relationship they need is found in and through Jesus Christ.
