Yokine Baptist Church

Ps Craig Eccleston

Both my parents served God at the Narwee Baptist Church in Sydney under the ministry of Rev Michael Dennis. It was there that I attended Sunday school and accepted Jesus into my heart at age 8 and then was baptised at age 16.  After school, I began an apprenticeship while continuing to serve God in Sunday school teaching and youth group leading. In 1998 I moved to Perth with my employment and it was there under the ministry of the Rev Alistair Bain at the North Beach Baptist Church that I felt God calling me to full time ministry.  In 2000 I began training at Morling Baptist Theological College in Sydney. In 2004 I accepted a call to the North Beach Baptist Church as Youth Pastor where I served for five years. At the beginning of 2009 I was called to the Yokine Baptist Church where I am currently serving as Senior Pastor. I feel greatly privileged to have been called to serve God as a pastor and I am excited at what He is doing in our Baptist Denomination. I am married to Kylie and we have two children, Jack (6 years) and Ruby (4 years).
