Adam is married to Samantha and they have three fabulous daughters. The numbers are against him for family movie night and potential camping holidays, but Brooklyn Nine Nine is a fun meeting place. Before training for full-time ministry Adam enjoyed four years as a high school maths teacher. Nowadays the maths is increasingly valuable on the golf course! Adam likes time together with his family and chilling with friends, cheering on the Giants, pulling his hair out over the Wests Tigers, watching Netflix at the end of the day with Sam and has trouble resisting anything sweet. Above all Adam loves learning from and teaching others about the Master Teacher – Jesus Christ, who he has known as his Lord and Saviour since he was 15. Adam has been the Senior Minister at TOMS since 2010, having previously served as an Assistant Minister at West Pennant Hills and Liverpool.

James grew up thinking a lot about 'Why are we here?' and was scared about life after death. That radically changed when he heard Philippians 1:21 preached and understood the gospel for the first time during High School. Since then he has been living and training to share that great news with anyone else who will hear. That led him to become a Primary School Teacher and go to Bible College where he met his wonderful wife Sarah. He joined TOMS as the Youth and Families Minister at the start of 2020 seeking to teach the gospel to Kids & Youth and train them for a lifetime of knowing Jesus as their King. In his spare time, he enjoys eating anything his wife Sarah cooks, listening to quality music, reading and playing video games. He has previous been involved in ministry in South-West Sydney and Sutherland.

Jim began ordained ministry in Manly at the end of 1967 and married Ann the following year.

He and Ann moved house and joined the TOMS family. Jim is active in Bible teaching and has taken on responsibility for the Safe Ministry and Child Protection provisions for the parish. Ann is involved with women’s ministry and has a mentoring role with ministry wives which is wider than the parish.
