Who We Are

We endeavour to be...

God honouring,

Christ centred,

Spirit transformed,

Bible focussed

God's family at Narrabri Anglican Church is made up of a wide variety of people, young and old, with a common, uniting belief in the greatness of God and the wonder of his offer of the free gift of eternal life to those who trust in him.

Our church is made up of about 6 different congregations meeting at different times in different places. We encourage all members in the Church to be involved in the mission of the Church, gathering together, growing together and going together with the good news of the Lord Jesus.

Our Parish comes under the oversight of the Anglican Diocese of Armidale which includes Anglican Churches from a large area of rural NSW. Most of the ministers in this diocese are trained in Sydney at Moore Theological College or Sydney Missionary Bible College

Our Ministry Team

Tim Baxter

The ministry is organised and led by Tim Baxter: Tim & Natasha and their four daughters moved here in 2008 to take up the role of leading the ministry. They have served in three different parishes since entering the ministry in 1998.

The family is very involved in the community through different sports, the High School and Public School, and other volunteer organisations like the Rural Fire Service. Natasha is self-employed as a dressmaker

Richard Riley

Richard Riley: Richard and Jenny also have four kids, with the youngest, Matthew, being born in Narrabri in 2009. They moved here in 2008 having previously lived in Darwin and Sydney, but are now really enjoying life in the country, involved in the Narrabri West School and other community activities and the Volunteer Rescue Association. Richard is overseeing the ministry to youth and young families.

Ralph Wood

Ralph Wood: Ralph and Margaret are long term residents of Narrabri, both having taught in local schools for many years. After many years of being involved in ministry in this Church, Ralph took the step of being ordained as a minister which has given him further opportunities to serve God. He has a particular passion for teaching the Bible through small groups and preaching in Church.
