Interim Pastor and Acting Senior Pastor

Rob will be filling in the roles of Intentional Interim Pastor and Acting Senior Pastor in 2024.

Rob has filled the role of interim pastor several times in churches in Victoria. He brings with him over 30 years of pastoral experience and over 20 years of experience as a senior pastor.

He was a part-time lecturer at Malyon College (back when it was Brisbane Theological College of QLD) and both he and his wife Jenny served as missionaries in Fiji.

Rob's journey to SDBC has come full circle - some might recall that he was a student pastor at SDBC back in the 80s!

Associate Pastor

Alvin and his wife Cherry are originally from Hong Kong, and have lived in Brisbane since 2004. After arriving in Australia, he started studying at the Bible College of Queensland, initially as a part-time student and then studying full time for pastoral ministry.

Alvin likes playing chess and bridge. He enjoys studying the Bible and listening to music. Alvin's aspiration is to enrich the lives of people, so that they can live a meaningful, abundant and joyful life.

Associate Pastor (Youth, Children & Families)

Jennifer serves the Youth, Children, Family and Worship ministries here at SDBC.

Though born in New Zealand, she is mostly from the Northern Territory, and there she served her first ten years in ministry with children. Jenn is passionate about empowering families as they disciple the next generation and journeying alongside young believers as they discover our incredible God and His amazing love.

Jennifer recently celebrated ten years of marriage with Joshua, and both are loving their current adventure of young family life with two kids. Outside church, the Howard fam can be found enjoying reading, games (of any board, video or sport variety), music or fishing.
