Description
Peter & Melanie Pilt
Peter and his wife Melanie moved to Nowra in September 2000 to become Shoalhaven City Christian Outreach Church's Senior Pastors. At that time the church was 250 strong and within 5 years it has grown to be nearly 600 members. In addition to this numerical growth the church has also seen a very significant increase in its sphere of influence, not only in Nowra, but in the state of NSW and also in various countries where the church financially supports missions. These countries include China, Russia, Solomon Islands, Vietnam and Iraq.
Peter believes, preaches and lives, what he calls passionate christianity. The church's purpose statement is Love God, Love People, Love Life. Peter's creative communication, leadership and an infectious attitude for life has been used by the Holy Spirit to touch many lives in the city. Peter believes in doing church and life outside the square.
Peter and Melanie have served under Ps David McDonald at Brisbane Christian Outreach Centre, a church of 2500 members, for 3 years, functioning as Business Manager and then pastoral oversight for the under 35's. Prior to this, for 8 years they were a part of the Ministry Team at Lighthouse Christian Centre Wollongong (AOG), under the leadership of Ps Bill Beard.
